The Athlete Place is the future of athlete support. This is something I have never seen before, a complete, 360-degree approach that guides not just the athlete, but the person behind the performance. It is a game-changer for young athletes in their sport and life beyond. I wish I had this when I was starting out.Colin Jackson CBEOlympic silver medallist · former world record holder
Too many young
athletes quit
before age 18.
Not for lack of talent. For lack of guidance.
You and your coaches already know that what decides an athlete's future happens away from the training ground.
Finding the hours and the expertise to cover it, for a whole cohort, is the problem.
Mindset, fuelling, pressure, identity. It all matters, and none of it fits into a session plan.
The Athlete Place
has you covered.
A platform built for teenage athletes.
A library of 80+ topics, there whenever an athlete needs it, plus the ready-made learning pathways that give them structure. Use ours, or have us build them around your programme.
- ✓Supplements your existing programme
- ✓Saves your staff time
- ✓Fills the gaps in staff knowledge
- ✓Built with safeguarding in mind
The perfect supplement
to any youth sport
programme.
Every topic runs through the same three stages. Athletes learn the subject, prove it landed, then apply it to their own sport. That structure is what makes it flexible.
You can teach it in the room, set it as homework, use it one to one, or let athletes work through it themselves. A mixture of each works best.
How it works
The lesson
10 minsWritten and filmed content with an elite athlete or expert. Bitesize by design.
The quiz
5 minsTo pass the topic and move on to the next, athletes must get 100% on the quiz.
The worksheet
30–45 minsReflection tasks encourage athletes to apply what they've learned to their own situation.
With everything they need, in one place.
Content created alongside elite athletes, sports psychologists, nutritionists and student-athlete mentors.

Featuring structured Pathways for
young athlete development.
Simplified learning.
80+ topics is too much for a teenage athlete to navigate alone. We created Pathways to make the learning experience easier for all involved.
What are Pathways?
Ten topics, hand-picked from across our eleven courses and delivered in a pre-set order to provide structure. Six Pathways come as standard, see them below.

Need something
more bespoke?
Most organisations we speak to already run something, and most say the same thing: it needs freshening up.
Custom Pathways works like this:
- 1You pick the topics
- 2We sequence and schedule it
- 3We assign it to your groups
Set it up once. It runs year on year.
£1,000 for your first pathwayEach one after costs less, down to £500. On top of your seats.
The essentials
The bonus
Answers to the questions
that really matter.
Before a programme like this goes ahead, decision makers need straight answers.
How this usually goes
Safe in their hands, when nobody is watching.
-
Nobody can contact an athlete
No chat, no comments, no messaging. There is no user-to-user contact anywhere on the platform.
-
No AI for athletes to talk to
No chatbot, no companion. If a young person needs to talk, we point them to a real adult.
-
It points them to you, not to us
Where a topic touches something serious, athletes are prompted to speak to a trusted adult in your organisation.
-
We can’t see it. We can’t act on it.
Journals are completed and kept off-platform, printed or saved on your own devices. We never see what’s written in one, so acting on anything concerning is down to you, not us.
-
Where relevant, content is audited
We work with leading practitioners across the subject areas that need them, so the content is safe and credible.
Here’s exactly what we ask for.
And what we don’t.
-
We only ask for
Name, school, year group, school email. The essentials for login and for delivering the correct pathway. Nothing more.
-
We don’t see their journals
Journals are printed or downloaded to be completed, and we’d recommend keeping them on your own devices and systems. Whichever way they’re done, the entries aren’t sent to us.
-
ICO registered
ZB958464, registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
-
Documentation on request
DPA provided as standard. Full policy pack available whenever your DPO needs it.
No phone needed in school.
-
No phone required
A computer suite, a shared laptop or a tablet is all it takes. Nothing here depends on a pupil having their own phone in school.
-
Journals, your way
Print them, or download and complete them in PowerPoint or Word on your own device.
-
No endless scrolling
Ten minutes at a time, bite-sized by design. Built to teach, not to hook, so there’s nothing here designed to keep them scrolling once the lesson ends.
-
And it travels with them
Outside school, the app puts the whole library in their pocket, on their own phone, for home, the coach to a fixture, or the night before a final.
Ready for inspection.
-
A recorded, sequenced programme
Pathways cover subject areas like wellbeing, mindset and nutrition, delivered in a planned order.
-
Proof it was delivered, not just planned
Each topic ends in a quiz that must be passed, so you get a dated record of what was covered, and by whom.
-
What they’ve learned, applied to real life
Journals accompany our most essential topics, demonstrating that what was learned has been applied to the athlete, their sport, and life beyond sport.
-
Know who’s engaged
We send completion reporting at intervals through the year. In between, an athlete can show you their own account and the topics they’ve finished.
There’s a platform
for parents, too.
This isn’t a copy of the athlete platform. Every topic is reframed for a parent’s point of view, plus a set of topics built just for them.
Because parents
have questions too.
Home shapes performance and wellbeing more than most realise. What they eat, how they sleep, and the conversations that build their confidence.
Parents can shape all of it, once they know what’s needed.
As parents of sporty children, we all have questions, experiences and concerns, and having a safe space where we can learn is fantastic.
Melanie AnningMum of Great Britain sprinter Amber Anning
Support shapes how
they play, and feel.
Even the people at the top agree: knowing a sport is not the same as knowing how to support the athlete. That’s exactly what the parent platform covers.
I have two children of my own, and they will no doubt face similar challenges. So I want to know how best I can support them through the sometimes difficult periods.
Chris JonesCEO, England Athletics
Making parents
part of the team.
Most parents think they’ve got this covered. But few properly understand what it takes. Back the parent and you back the athlete: the part most programmes leave out.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support my parents give me. It is important they get support too, so they know how important they are in our journeys.

Your seats fill the bands in order, and each band is charged at its own rate, like income tax.
Adding seats never makes your existing seats cost more.
Why this exists
Nobody told me the hard part happens away from training.
I competed for Great Britain as a junior in the 400m hurdles, and won national age-group titles along the way. On paper it looked like it was going well.
Off paper I was dealing with injury, burnout, and things nobody had prepared me for. I was studying sport science at Loughborough at the time, surrounded by expertise, and I still could not find the guidance I actually needed. I lost the sport I loved, and part of myself in the process.
Most young athletes who quit don't leave because they were not good enough. They leave because nobody helped them with the parts that happen away from training. That was true for me, and it's still true now.
So I built the place I needed. The elite athletes, the experts, the honest conversations, all of it in one place, for the athletes coming up behind me.
We know your week is busy.
Got 30 minutes?
A proper look at the platform, a chance to ask anything, and an honest conversation about what we could do together for your athletes.
