The British Elite Athletes Alumni platform is a digital community exclusively for former elite athletes.
This free platform is only available to former elite British sportspeople, allowing them to connect with fellow alumni, and to access support and resources designed for life after professional sport.
To keep the platform private and exclusive, members must have:
- Been 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.
What can you do on the British Elite Athletes Alumni platform?
1. Connect with former teammates and hundreds of other retired athletes. 2. Join groups based on your sport, experiences or interests. Looking for a new hobby and want some inspiration? Have a passion for protecting the environment or mental wellness? Want to talk about life after sport? We have the group of like-minded athletes for you – and if we don’t, you can create your own. 3. Share what you’re up to, and find other former athletes with similar interests. 4. Access a directory of organisations offering support and opportunities to retired athletes. 5. Hear directly from LAPS (Life After Professional Sport) to benefit from fantastic career resources, training, events, case studies and job opportunities. 6. More coming soon, including a mentoring programme.

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
