Duccio Ferrari Bravo: Inside Juventus' Sports Science & R&D

Duccio Ferrari Bravo, head of sport science and R&D, describes how his four-person department monitors and tests 28 Juventus teams daily and why any new tool must be validated and usable across every squad, first team to youth, male and female. He outlines the gaps startups help fill — such as biomechanics and movement quality via AI computer vision for injury prediction — and stresses internal frameworks, clear messaging to coaches, and 'less is more' in load management. He also highlights peer collaboration, internal PhDs and over 20 Juventus-affiliated publications, plus areas he expects to matter next like brain training and recovery tracking.
