“Being the best, you can be isn’t down to genetics, it’s a simple decision we all have to make. The earlier we make it, the better we can become. At the Sedbergh courses we do our best to make that journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible." 

Key ingredients such as technical models, creative mindset, fun and a steely determination give each individual the greatest opportunity to perform and develop. The physical training of running, jumping and throwing are at the core of the programme and supports the transfer of physical development across many sports, not just Athletics

Dean Macey

Dean was an international decathlete for more than a decade. His first major triumph was a silver medal at the 1999 World Championships, which helped win him the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award. He went on to win Gold in the Commonwealth Games Decathlon, two World Championship medals and came fourth in two Olympic Games.

I have been highly impressed by the athletics course, from the pre course communication, the organisation on arrivals day, the quality of the boarding house, the fantastic coaching that my daughter received to the kindness and friendliness of everyone who was involved in running the course
