Student-Athlete Support
Made Easy
Born from the lived experience of student-athletes, The Athlete Place is the ultimate student-athlete support resource.
If you want to improve your students' performance, wellbeing and overall development whilst making your job a whole lot easier and more effective, we're here to help.
Why We Started
I'm Joe, Founder of The Athlete Place and former GB athlete.
As a Loughborough University alumni myself, I have been involved in high-level sport for 10+ years and am now striving to create the ultimate student-athlete support resource.
Despite representing Great Britain, I, like a lot of student-athletes, really struggled to balance student life with sport, ultimately leading to me quitting the sport I once loved.
At the time, accessible guidance for student-athletes like me was limited, so I created something.
At The Athlete Place, we are working with elite athletes and experts to share knowledge and experience with the next generation of student-athletes.

Why This Is Needed
- Support is often only available to 'performance-level ' athletes
- Many student-athletes struggle with the transition to independent university life, losing the safety net they had at home, e.g. nutrition, life skills, emotional support, etc.
- Students often don't know where to seek support or guidance...
- They often face communication barriers or lack of understanding
- Many university coaches/committees are student volunteers who are inadequately qualified to help
- Expert support is expensive, and students are short of money
- An all-in-one-place, self-guided resource can provide athlete autonomy, greatly alleviating institutions' financial and time constraints.
