The DiSE programme has been hugely beneficial to my sailing. The training camps have been amazing with some great quality coaching. The theory sessions have helped me to understand what else goes into being successful within sport. The programme has run smoothly due to the great organisation, and it has been great to be a part of it.

I graduated from the DISE programme in 2020 and it has been instrumental in getting me where I am today. The main thing I took from the programme is the importance of having a race plan and how that helped me with focusing on the process not the outcome. That has been a key part in being my best self as I’ve moved onto the Senior Team where I’ve been racing against much older and more experienced athletes. It helps me deal with any pressure or expectation and allows me to get into my flow state and execute to the best of my ability. When I won the W1x at the GB Senior Trials, I even had some notes from my race plan stuck a piece of tape on my footplate, which was something I started doing when I was on DISE and haven’t stopped since!

The YTP/DiSE has enabled me to meet new athletes and coaches who have helped me develop a greater understanding of what being an elite athlete entails. It has given me a wider support network all of which will help me become a better well rounded athlete.

Fantastic day for Brandon so much great information and 2 fantastic coaches. They made brandon feel very welcome and put in so much effort in everything they do.

The YTP/DiSE has helped me associate the skills that I've gained through sport with real applied definitions. The support we get given is a great privilege, as it allows us to put our talent into perspective and get the most out of ourselves.

YTP is a great way to understand and develop your knowledge and skills in your chosen discipline. It is really good to be surrounded with runners who have the same goals and aspirations as yourself.
