<p>We do not collect data on post-sport employment rates, but UK Sport takes its duty
of care to athletes very seriously. Their package of support includes Performance
Lifestyle Advisers from the English Institute for Sport, supporting athletes to prepare
for life after elite sport; the Athlete Futures Network open to any current or former
World Class Programme athlete hosting roadshows that include workshops, career skills
development, and exploration of future employment opportunities; and the EIS #More2Me
campaign, launched in Feb 2019, to encourage elite athletes to consider their lives’
outside of and beyond sport, whilst they are still competing.</p><p><br> As I stated
in my speech on 13th February to UK Sport, It is important that we support our athletes
not just when they are competing, but as they move into retirement and start thinking
about the next stage of their lives.</p>
