Performance Lifestyle

The Performance Lifestyle programme is available for athletes to help them get the most out of their life and produce the best in everything they do.

There are many areas of an athlete’s life (sport, personal, career, education) which all have an impact on one another and each one needs to be carefully planned to ensure the athlete can concentrate on their sporting goals. Our trained advisers recognise that the sport programme is the main focus for competing athletes and will give them guidance in all areas.

There are three main different areas of support:

• Lifestyle support: includes Time Managment, Budgeting & Finance, Dealing with the Media, Sponsorship, Negotiation skills.
• Careers and Employment Advice: advice available for athletes on finding a suitable job and deciding on a future career.
• Education Guidance: advice on part-time or full-time courses, gaining flexibility in an existing course, assisting with education choices to fit in with sporting demands.

This programme is available to all of our athletes. Sessions can be arranged on a one to one basis, per sport or through workshops.

Our athlete advisers also have close communication with the athlete's coaches and other service providers to create an integrated approach and to minimise any potential concerns for the athlete.
