YST Talent supports talented young athletes, coaches and officials to achieve their sporting and academic potential by achieving a balanced lifestyle of training, competitions, schoolwork, exams and family life.
The Youth Sport Trust has successfully delivered talent education and support programmes for over a decade to thousands of young athletes, coaches and officials, many of which have progressed to achieve at the highest level including performing at previous Olympic and Paralympic games.
YST Talent helps young people to balance their sporting commitments with their academic studies, to build the right support team and to ensure that they understand what it takes to be the very best.
The programme features three strands, depending on the needs of the young people:
