Welcome to the 'Athlete Zone', an area designed to provide athletes with all the information you need in your life as an athlete - the Living, Learning, Working and Benefiting aspects of being an elite performer.

This area is for athletes who are on the World Class Pathway, providing an overview of some of the services available to you and information relevant to 'elite athletes' within the UK sporting environment.

The information is categorised as follows:

  • Living as an athlete
  • Learning as an athlete
  • Working as an athlete
  • Benefiting as an athlete
  • FAQs & Useful Links

UK Sport offer individual athletes funding if you are nominated by your Olympic or Paralympic National Governing Body (NGB), via an Athlete Personal Award application process, which is a contribution to your living and personal sporting costs incurred whilst training and competing as an elite athlete.

UK Sport cannot offer funding direct to athletes outside of those nominated by these Olympic or Paralympic NGBs, therefore we suggest an athlete’s first point of contact should be your sport. For a list of contacts please visit our links www.uksport.gov.uk/links.
