What we do.

Global Athlete is an international athlete-led movement inspiring and leading positive change in world sport, and collectively addressing the imbalance of power between athletes and administrators. We aim to help athletes gain a more represented voice in world sport, recognising that the neglect and suppression of the athlete voice has gone on for too long.

We aim to bring sport into the twenty-first century by mobilizing athletes, following the unprecedented uprising in which athletes have called for enhanced rights and major changes to the way sport is run.

Whether it be athlete welfare, unlocking athletes’ marketing potential, ensuring athletes receive Olympic revenues or simply better representation at the decision-making table, Global Athlete will fearlessly tackle the issues that really matter, working with athletes to determine what needs to change and how to go about changing it.

Global Athlete is funded by FairSport.
