Talented athletes need support to overcome the challenges they face both on and off the sports field, such as work, their family and social life, injury, illness and psychological issues, all of which can create conflict and put pressure on their training schedule and personal commitments. Developed in partnership with the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS), the 1st4sport Level 3 Certificate in Talented Athlete Lifestyle Support provides learners with an introduction to the principles and practice of supporting and advising talented athletes in managing their personal development and lifestyle to balance with their sporting commitments. It has been designed to enable learners aged 18 and over to study both the theoretical and practical aspects of the support and advice process.
*Please note there may be exceptions to the above. Further information about the EQF can be found on the EQF Portal.
