Description

Our team of Athlete Mentors, which includes a host of Olympic, Paralympic, World Championship and Commonwealth medallists, have a wealth of experience providing inspiration through sharing their journey and personal stories of struggle and success.

The athletes can visit your school to deliver assemblies, workshops and masterclasses working with targeted pupil groups. They can also deliver motivational speeches, host awards ceremonies, events, sports days or provide a taster of a YST Athlete Mentor programme.

Since its launch in 2003, our acclaimed Living for Sport programme has used world class Athlete Mentors to inspire over half a million young people. It encourages improvement in young people’s behaviour and attitude to achieve their personal best in life by helping them develop vital character and employability skills.

Living for Sport is a 1.5-day programme that includes an initial half-day visit from an Athlete Mentor, which can feature an inspirational assembly, meeting the team and project planning. This will be followed by a full day visit by the Athlete Mentor after the submission of the project plan to work with an identified target group, leading activities and group work on the six keys to success.
