The Junior Athlete Education (JAE) programme is designed to support gifted and talented young athletes.
Implemented through Sports Colleges and their partnership schools, the programme helps young athletes achieve a balanced lifestyle of training, competitions, schoolwork, exams and family life.
Specially developed workshops with resources in lifestyle management, sport profiling and planning are available to talented pupils, delivered by trained teachers, as well as training for teachers/school staff to become JAE mentors for their talented pupils. This enables staff in schools to help their students to maximise their potential in both academic studies and sports performance. Integral to this is an educational workshop for the parents of talented young athletes as well.
