Director of Performance: Peter Keen

The Performance work area is concerned with UK Sport's primary goal of supporting world class performance. Alongside the money that goes directly to the sports through their respective World Class Performance Programmes, the Performance Directorate leads and develops areas which have been identified as having an influential impact on a sportsman or woman's performance; performance solutions, athlete development and research and innovation. This is done using a ‘No Compromise’ philosophy which targets investment at those most likely to deliver medals at Olympic and Paralympic level.


International

The International Development work area is concerned with the UK Sport's goal of supporting worldwide impact. UK Sport also plays a key role in the global development of sport through the support of projects overseas, exchange visits and information sharing with other nations. The largest single element of the international team’s work is currently International Inspiration – an Olympic-related initiative. UK Sport is the lead agency for this project which aims to deliver on the ‘Singapore Vision’ – the promise made by the London 2012 bid team to ‘reach young people all around the world and connect them to the inspirational power of the Games so they are inspired to choose sport’.
