We’re building something different at Supporting Champions. We’re here to develop the people who support the athletes – the coaches, scientists, and performance professionals – so they can have longer, more impactful, more fulfilling careers. We’re not waiting for the industry to catch up. We’re doing the work now: creating the tools, courses, and content that help people truly thrive in high-performance environments.
That includes you.
Why we’re offering this
Too many early-career professionals are stuck – bright, capable, full of potential, but without applied opportunities that actually grow their skills. We’re offering a real-world, real-impact work experience placement for someone who cares about sport, performance, and communicating ideas that matter.
You’ll be part of a movement to shift the field, helping us connect with more people, deliver more value, and make more impact.
Role (2–5 hours per week)
We’re looking for someone to join us remotely and support content production and community activity. Tasks may include:
- Curating and scheduling engaging posts across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter/X
- Reviewing and clipping long-form podcast episodes (we now use Riverside.fm)
- Editing audio and video content for different formats (long-form and short-form)
- Identifying key developmental themes from content (e.g. learning principles, mindset takeaways, applied performance insights)
- Contributing to our online community by prompting discussion and supporting learners
- Assisting with content repurposing (e.g. blog updates, email newsletters, resource summaries)
What we’re offering
Let’s be clear: this is a volunteer placement. You’ll contribute 2–5 hours a week, flexibly and remotely, for a minimum of 26 weeks. In return, we offer:
- Monthly mentoring, coaching, and career guidance from a trusted name in high performance
- Access to £2,000 worth of online course content across applied sports science, communication, career development, and performance psychology
- A meaningful portfolio of real work
- Priority consideration for future freelance opportunities with us
- A standout reference based on genuine contribution
This is a skills-for-experience exchange. We won’t waste your time – if you commit, we’ll commit to making it count.
Who we’re looking for
You don’t need to be polished. You do need to care, communicate, and be willing to learn. We value:
- Proactive, independent working
- Clear, honest communication
- Reliability and openness to feedback
- A genuine interest in performance, people, and learning
We’re particularly interested if you have experience in:
- Video editing (iMovie, Filmora, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, etc.)
- Graphic design (Canva, PowerPoint, Adobe tools)
- Social media content creation and scheduling
- Thematic analysis of interviews or long-form content
Your background: You should be studying (or have studied) a sport-related degree – e.g., sports science, sports psychology, sports marketing, or similar. If you’re a scientist, show us you can stretch into content and comms. If you’re a marketer, show us you understand performance environments.
We welcome applications from anywhere in the world. Supporting Champions is an equal opportunity organisation – we’re here to build people up, not screen them out.
