For athletes

When it comes to sport and climate we know athletes have been leading the charge. From the 480+ athletes who were part of seeing Australia lift our climate ambition with The Cool Down to individuals across the sporting landscape taking personal action, encouraging their clubs to do the same, highlighting the big issues and quietly working away at decarbonising, athletes have been doing the heavy lifting.

At FrontRunners we believe in the power of sportspeople to make change, but we don't think you should have to do it alone. If you've got an idea, if this is your bag, we want to support you.

We can help with a lot of things like:

  • Advice and support
  • Educational resources
  • Decarbonisation strategies for you, your club, your governing body
  • Media training and strategy
  • Social media support
  • Building campaigns
  • Building your network
  • Working alongside your agent or team
