The BEAA's Athlete Community Network is a digital community exclusively for elite athletes.
This private LinkedIn group provides an online space for those who are looking to stay connected, supported and inspired throughout their sporting journey and beyond.
You can use the group to network across the athlete community, to share your story and to stay up to date with the latest opportunities for athletes both in the high-performance system and elsewhere.
To keep the platform private and exclusive, members must have:
- Been, or currently be, on UK Sport’s World-Class Performance Programme (for any amount of time) and/or; - Competed in a senior international competition for Great Britain.
Not sure if that’s you? Not to worry. Simply get in touch below and we can help you out.
1. Connect with current and retired athletes from all World Class Programme-funded sports. 2. Share your story and hear advice and tips from your fellow elite athletes. 3. Stay up to date with the latest opportunities for athletes, including career resources, training, events, case studies and job roles.
How can I join?
1. If you don't already have one, you'll need to create an account with LinkedIn.
2. Once you've created an account, you can add a profile picture, a career summary, your work and education history and any relevant skills to your profile, if you wish.
3. Search 'Athlete Community Network - BEAA' in LinkedIn, or click the link below to find the group page.
4. Request to join the group, which will be approved by the BEAA.
5. Email alumni@britisheliteathletes.org with any questions – including feedback on what else you’d find useful.
6. Enjoy connecting with your fellow elite athletes.
It’s easy to lose some of your sense of belonging once you retire. The BEAA stands for athletes at every stage of their career.
