Athlete stories
The Talented Athlete Programme has really helped me over the last 3 years and the support has been invaluable.
In my 1st year on the programme it helped me get selected for England to compete in Austria where I won the 200m. That same year I went on to claim a Silver Medal at the British Indoor Championships.
In my 2nd year I unfortunately picked up an injury but the programme helped me get back to full fitness by giving me access to free physiotherapy sessions.
I am currently in my 3rd year and having my best year so far, being ranked 1st in Europe for 200m in 2020 across all ages.
I also have my sights set on the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2024 Olympics, and the Talented Athlete Programme has helped make this become a reality.

I have been part of the Hull Sport talented athlete programme for the last three years as a Hockey Player representing the GB students’ team. I have found the strength and conditioning sessions valuable to my performance. As a third year student I can feel the benefits from the programme on the pitch as I believe I am playing the best hockey of my life. I will continue to play hockey at a high standard once I leave Hull, but the programme has taught me how to balance work and sport at an elite level.
