Workshops & mentoring - University of Birmingham Sport

An important part of the scholarships programmes at the University of Birmingham, is helping athletes combing their academic and sporting commitments.  Through our mentoring scheme and our series of Student-Athlete Lifestyle Workshops, we help athletes develop in all aspects of their lives as student-athletes.

Mentoring

Each Scholar is assigned a member of staff within University of Birmingham Sport who meets with them regularly, and helps with a range of topics including time management, drug awareness, planning, goal setting, academic-sport clashes, budgeting and emotional support.

Workshops and Seminars

Each year we run a series of Workshops and Seminars covering various aspects of life as an athlete.  Topics include injury prevention, medial training, coping with setbacks, travel as an athlete, competing a major events, planning and lifestyle management.  Elite athletes are usually invited along to speak, and to share their experiences.

Other Support

As part of the Student-Athlete Lifestyle support that we provide, we have a library of resources that athletes can borrow.  Books are available on media training, sponsorship, study skills, psychology, nutrition and cooking, careers, time management, and travel, as well as a number of inspiring autobiographies.
