As an athlete there are a variety of benefits available to you as an individual or as part of a programme / team.

These benefits are designed to reduce the costs of being an athlete and to allow you to focus on the important things, such as your performance.

Here are the current additional benefits available to athletes outside of those provided by your athlete programmes and support staff:

  • The Olympic Passport Scheme entitles individuals to various benefits including discounts from Panasonic to Adidas. To qualify for this, the athlete needs to have been nominated by their NGB.
  • Helping British Talent Take Off - UK Sport has joined forces with British Airways to offer a range of 'added value’ travel benefits, including flight discounts, a dedicated booking line, excess baggage waivers, Executive Club membership and upgrades for athletes, their coaches and families.
  • Pensions - The British Athletes' Commission has a flexible athlete-friendly pension scheme that its athletes can enter into if they choose. For more information on athlete pensions and discounts on car rental, visit www.britishathletes.org.
