FOR SCHOOLS
Every year, thousands of talented young athletes walk away from sport...
Not because they lack ability, but because they lack the right support at a crucial time.
At The Athlete Place, we provide a self-access digital platform designed to equip school-age athletes with the knowledge, tools, and mindset they need to succeed... with minimal staff input.

At The Athlete Place, we know that school-age athletes face unique challenges juggling their sporting ambitions with academic pressures and personal growth.
Schools face their own challenges in providing support during this time. The Athlete Place can help you to:
✔️ Attract More Prospective Students
Show prospective parents that your school provides elite-level athlete support alongside academics.
✔️ Boost Student Performance, Lifestyle & Wellbeing
Students learn the essential skills that make a world class athlete and enhance their sporting and academic success.
✔️ Reduce Staff Workload
The platform is self-accessed by students, requiring minimal teacher involvement while still delivering maximum impact. See us as your ready-made performance sport programme.
✔️ Flexible & School-Specific
Integrate seamlessly into your existing sport programme as an independent resource, a structured session, or a unique selling point for recruitment. We provide the value, you decide how to implement it (we can help!).
✔️ Enhance School Reputation
Position your school as a leader in student-athlete development with an innovative and research-backed approach.
The best schools don’t just develop great athletes... they develop future leaders, resilient individuals, and well-rounded young adults.
The Athlete Place helps you do just that.

1. What exactly does The Athlete Place offer our pupils?
The Athlete Place delivers expert, performance and athlete-specific content across key areas such as mindset, dealing with disappointment, nutrition, sleep, and balancing school with sport — as well as topics young athletes often find difficult to talk about or seek help for, like mental health and safeguarding. By approaching these subjects in a relatable, athlete-centred way and featuring sport role models, the platform gives pupils access to the support they need now, along with knowledge that will benefit them far beyond their sport and into adult life.
It provides a valuable addition to your school’s existing sport and pastoral support.
2. How easily can this be implemented within our school?
Very easily. The platform is browser-based, quick to set up, and access is managed via pupil or school codes.
While not currently a National Curriculum resource, The Athlete Place is designed to complement your existing provision. Schools can use it flexibly during PE lessons, personal development hours, tutor time, extra-curricular sessions, or as independent study — especially for sport scholars or aspiring athletes.
Students access the platform independently, meaning no extra work for staff — and we provide full onboarding to make rollout effortless.
3. Is the content appropriate for pupils of different ages and sporting levels?
Absolutely. While the platform features elite athletes, The Athlete Place was designed to support all young athletes — not just those on performance pathways. One of our core beliefs is that expert guidance shouldn’t be limited to a select few. Every aspiring athlete deserves access to the kind of guidance that helps them thrive both in sport and in life.
To ensure content feels relevant, we offer two tailored versions: The Athlete Place (Junior) for ages 14–18, and The Athlete Place (Senior) for 18+. Each is designed to resonate with its specific audience and meet them where they are.
4. How does this align with our safeguarding and pupil welfare priorities?
The Athlete Place directly supports your school’s safeguarding and pupil welfare priorities through dedicated modules on Athlete Mental Health and Safeguarding. These include topics that align with the preventative, awareness-based approach promoted in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), such as recognising when you're struggling, how to support others, and understanding what constitutes a safeguarding concern — all delivered in a way that’s discreetly accessible, relatable, and athlete-specific.
We know many young people, especially in sport, are reluctant to speak up. That’s why we’ve designed the platform as a self-accessed, safe space — empowering pupils to seek support, build awareness, and better protect themselves and others.
Licences are flexible and based on your school’s size and needs. All plans include full access to our content, worksheets, usage data, and staff resources.
Multi-year and multi-site discounts are available. Contact us to explore options or arrange a demo.
