These resources have been compiled based on the expertise and experiences of practitioners working with our GB Olympic and Paralympic programmes, across the Home Country Sports Institutes, together with other expert opinions and current literature findings.
The aim is to bring the most appropriate and useful knowledge being applied at the top end of British sports to the athletes, parents and coaches who are currently at an earlier stage of their development journeys.
We are confident that if this guidance is followed from an early point in an athlete’s career, as well as by those supporting them, positive habits will be formed that will actively contribute to the athlete achieving a great deal of success, both in and out of competitive sport.
