Backing Talent Sports Development Programme

'Backing Talent' gives potential future athletes the opportunity to find out what first hand what it takes to succeed in sport.

Talented performers spend a day taking part in challenging activities which focus on performance analysis, team building, nutrition, effective training techniques, communication skills and working the media.

The day is made up of a series of workshops which are led by our Harnessing Talent athlete mentors. The workshops include:

• Communications and media training
• Mental skills training
• Physical well-being and nutrition
  

'Backing Talent' is a unique programme in not only does it offer young talented sports performers the opportunity to learn from Olympians and World Champions, but the programme also involves parents and coaches of those involved.

Experts in this field take sessions with parents and coaches, as it cannot be underestimated just how important they are in a young person's sporting development.
