Everyone Active’s Sporting Champions scheme provides athletes with mentoring days and free access to facilities / Everyone Active
Now in its sixth year, Everyone Active’s Sporting Champions scheme will provide more than 1,000 athletes with mentoring days and free access to more than 200 leisure facilities across the country.
Athletes accepted on the scheme are from a variety of sports, including three-time English taekwondo champion Joshua Iyalla, freestyle kayaking’s double junior world champion Ottilie Robinson-Shaw, double Paralympic 200m gold medallist Richard Whitehead MBE, 2021 European U23 100m champion Jeremiah Azu and junior GB ice dancer Lily Bakhtiari.
Alongside access to training facilities at Everyone Active centres, equivalent to more than £360,000 in free centre facilities, Sporting Champions will receive valuable mentoring and guidance from some of the UK’s most influential sports stars.
Olympic silver medallist Colin Jackson will continue to support the scheme as an Ambassador, a role he’s played since 2016. He will be working alongside a newly-appointed panel of Elite athletes to make sports more accessible within local communities.
The impressive line-up of Elite athletes features Olympians and Paralympians including Lutalo Muhammad, Jennifer and Jessica Gadirova, Richard Kilty, Lauren Steadman, Kadeena Cox and Maisie Summers-Newton*. Their combined experience and expertise will help to support athletes through one-to-one and group mentoring sessions.
Colin Jackson said: “I’m incredibly proud to be involved in a scheme that is so dedicated to supporting athletic talent from grass roots up.
“This year, I’ll be working alongside some truly talented Elite athletes to help rising sports stars reach their goals.
“The Sporting Champions scheme has helped thousands of up-and-coming athletes to achieve their sporting dreams and I can’t wait to see what this year’s intake go on to achieve.”
Everyone Active Managing Director, David Bibby, said: “Everyone Active’s Sporting Champions scheme has been very successful in providing exceptional support to emerging talent and we are delighted to be once again supporting athletes across the country on their journey to success.
“It’s fantastic to see how the scheme has expanded over the years, now providing more than 1,000 athletes nationwide with access to top-quality training facilities and giving them an opportunity to learn from our elite level athletes.
“We are proud to make a real difference to our athletes’ careers and we can’t wait to see what this year’s scheme will deliver.”
Sporting Champions will also receive free unlimited access to the Everyone on Demand app, providing them with more than 500,000 at-home workouts from leading fitness brands, including WithU, Flex and Les Mills on Demand.
