Performance Lifestyle (PL) is a targeted coaching and mentoring service designed to help you manage the demands of elite sport while progressing in the key areas that shape long-term success. We support you throughout and beyond the World Class Programme across domains such as well-being, transitions, career development, education, personal growth, and financial planning — the critical factors that influence both performance and longevity in sport.

Research consistently shows that athletes who invest in personal development and proactively prepare for career transitions tend to perform better and sustain longer careers. Your athletics performance is directly influenced by how effectively you manage your life off the track — your routines, decisions, and wider identity all contribute to how you train, compete, and recover.

Every athlete’s pathway is different, so PL support is bespoke and responsive to your stage of development. Whether you’re learning to balance programme commitments, building professional skills, exploring your values and strengths, or planning for your next step, the PL team works with you to define and execute goals that enhance both the person and the performer. Our aim is simple: keep you equipped, focused, and prepared to navigate the demands of high-performance sport and life with confidence.
