WELCOME TO TALENTED ATHLETE
Talented Athlete is a company that specialises in supporting organic development of athletes at various stages of their career. We provide care and support for a variety of individuals through counselling, mentoring and education workshops.
Our core focus is athlete lifestyle support and athlete mental health.
We look at the parameters that surround an athlete and assist in keeping things at a manageable level so athletes can focus purely on their sport, which in turn will promote healthier lifestyles and enhance their overall performance.
Alongside the development of an athlete within their career huge emphasis is also given towards supporting the athletes near the end of their careers, whether that be in the form of retirement or injury.

OUR STORY
Talented Athlete was founded in 2016 by a Muay Thai athlete named Enitan Shofolahan, winner of the 2020 IKF European championships.
Competing at both amateur and professional levels Enitan started his sport career journey in 2008 balancing jobs, financial issues, injuries, and relationships struggles whilst also being a young parent. His resilience and perseverance through turbulent times is not unique but common amongst most athletes.
Research highlights that a lot of people suffer in silence due to fear or not being aware of the support available. Throughout Enitan’s journey as an athlete he was able to compile and document his experiences of himself and others.
After completion of University, a variety of courses, work placements and case studies Talented Athlete was born.

DEVELOPMENT
Every athlete is different but shares common goals when it comes to success. Success means different things to different people and the journey to attaining success has different routes. Education, knowledge, motivation and patience are elements that play key roles within the development of each individual athlete.
If you want to be better at what you do,
If you don't know what you need to do,
If you don't know the right person to talk to then it's probably a good time to seek support.
​
And support is exactly what we offer.

COUNSELLING
Being able to support someone requires an understanding of what they are actually going through.
It requires the ability to listen, communicate and explore various options that may potentially help an individual to improve.
We take people's mental health and wellness very seriously and always aim for the best possible outcome.
