FOR SCHOOLS
Enhance Your School’s Sport Offering with The Athlete Place
FOR UNIVERSITY & COLLEGES
Go the extra mile for your entire sport programme.
Empowering University and College Athletes in Sport, Education and Beyond.
At university level, talent alone isn’t enough. Student-athletes must balance intense training and academic commitments, while also navigating independent living—often for the first time. Without the right support, performance, well-being, and retention can suffer, impacting both the student and the university’s sporting reputation.
Universities and colleges are expected to support student-athletes holistically, but with limited time and resources, that's not easy.
That’s where The Athlete Place comes in.
"The Athlete Place is the future of athlete support. This is something I’ve never seen before - a complete, 360-degree approach that guides not just the athlete, but the person behind the performance. It’s a game-changer for young athletes in their sport and life beyond. I wish I had this when I was starting out."

Your Duty of Care Responsibilities
The Athlete Place supports your legal and ethical obligations to student-athlete wellbeing, aligning with sector guidance on mental health, safeguarding, and dual-career support.
With growing scrutiny around student welfare and mental health provision, universities must ensure their support extends beyond sport performance. The Athlete Place equips your student-athletes with guidance grounded in the Duty of Care in Sport report (2017), Office for Students (OfS) expectations, and best-practice safeguarding.
By embedding our platform into your sport or pastoral provision, you reduce institutional risk, enhance student experience, and meet BUCS and NGB-aligned standards — all without increasing staff workload.
Join Leading Schools Elevating Their Sporting Excellence
Providing elite-level sporting facilities is just one part of the equation—ensuring students can manage their lifestyle, perform at their best, and transition smoothly into university life is just as crucial.
The Athlete Place makes this easy.

FAQs
1. What exactly does The Athlete Place offer our students?
The Athlete Place offers expert, athlete and performance-related content in areas such as mindset, managing setbacks, nutrition, sleep, and balancing academics with sport. It also addresses crucial and often hard to discuss topics, such as mental health and safeguarding. Through relatable, athlete-focused guidance and insights from sport role models, the platform informs, inspires, and motivates.
Our resources on nutrition, time management, and self-care also help newly independent student-athletes avoid common pitfalls caused by gaps in life skills and knowledge, boosting their chances of success in and beyond sport.
It provides a valuable addition to your institution's existing sport and pastoral support.
2. How easily can this be implemented within our institution?
Very easily. Whether you are looking to offer a white-labeled platform or simply provide access, the browser-based platform is quick to set up. We provide full support during setup and offer ongoing assistance to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The Athlete Place is designed to complement your existing provision and, as students access the platform independently, this means no extra work for staff.
3. Is the content suitable for all of our student-athletes regardless of sport and abilty?
Absolutely. While the platform features elite athletes, The Athlete Place has been designed to support all 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 platforms: one for ages up to 18yrs, and the other for 18+. Each is designed to resonate with its specific audience and meet them where they are on their sporting journey.
4. How does this align with our safeguarding and student welfare priorities?
The Athlete Place supports your institution’s safeguarding and student welfare priorities by providing athlete-specific content on mental health, self-care, safeguarding and stress management. It helps universities meet their duty of care obligations (e.g., the Duty of Care in Sport (2017) recommendations) by proactively addressing sensitive issues, ensuring student-athletes have the resources they need to stay safe and well. This platform enables your institution to fulfil its legal responsibilities while enhancing the wellbeing of your students.
We know many struggling students, especially in sport, are reluctant to speak up. That’s why we’ve designed the platform as a self-accessed, safe space — empowering them to seek support, build awareness, and better protect themselves and others.
5. What is the cost, and what does it include?
Licences are flexible and based on student numbers and your institution's needs. All plans include full access to our platform's content, worksheets, usage data, and staff resources.
Multi-year discounts are available. Contact us to explore options or arrange a demo.
