Performance Lifestyle

As a UK Sport funded athlete you will be supported by the Performance Lifestyle Programme, an individualised support service designed to help each athlete create the unique environment for success. Trained athlete advisers, are available to give guidance on maximising the performance focus while fulfilling other important commitments such as personal development, education, career, family or financial commitments. Athlete advisers work closely with coaches and support staff, as part of an integrated team, to minimise potential concerns, conflicts and distractions, all of which can be detrimental to performance.

An athlete adviser will be assigned to you and help is available in areas such as budgeting and finance, dealing with the media, time management, finding an athlete friendly employer, individualised education programmes and preparation for life beyond sport.

As part of the Performance Lifestyle Programme Podium athletes are also entitled to apply for an Education Award to contribute towards the costs of further education, career development or gaining vocational skills. Applications and details on planning and how to integrate study with sporting commitments are processed through your Performance Lifestyle adviser.
