Everyone Active's Sporting Champions scheme relaunches for its ninth year, enabling over 6,000 athletes to access premier training facilities and mentorship since 2016. This initiative, partnering with local leisure centres, aids athletes like Jade Ive and Greg Cackett in their pursuits. The scheme emphasizes the importance of strong training foundations for athletes aiming for high-level competitions. Colin Jackson, a former Olympic silver medallist, returns as the ambassador, ensuring continued support through mentoring sessions with elite athletes throughout the year.
"As an elite pole vaulter, I have high demands of different types of training. The Sporting Champions scheme offers me the freedom to train where I need to. It's such an important feature in my desires to fulfil my dreams."
"Even as I come to the twilight of my Olympic career, the Sporting Champions scheme continues to be an essential tool in my training armoury. It provides access to the fantastic David Weir Leisure Centre in Sutton, pivotal for my training for 2026 Olympic success."
