SSE Next Generation athletes, their parents and coaches often take part in workshops on everything from nutrition, sports psychology, dealing with the media and much more.
During one of the events at The SSE Arena we talked with Amanda Williamson, mother of Arsenal Ladies and England star Leah, about how she deals with the ups and downs of being a parent of a talented athlete.
SSE Next Generation athlete Danielle McGifford visited an elite sprint group at Lee Valley to find out how GB's top sprinters train. We caught up with Danielle's mum Sandra to find out what her proudest moments have been as the parent of a talented young athlete.
Fellow SSE Next Generation athlete Adele Nicoll also took part in the event at Lee Valley and we talked to Adele's mum Justine to find out what it is like living with a talented young athlete, and how a family copes with the highs and lows of a sporting journey.
SSE's Next Generation programme partners with SportsAid to provide financial support and training to sports stars of the future.
