Retailer Mattress Online is inviting aspiring young sports people from across the UK to partake in an opportunity to learn from one of the nation's greatest sporting heroes in her home city of Sheffield.
Aiming to inspire the next generation of athletes, Mattress Online is offering four individuals the chance of a place to be put through their paces in the gym during an one hour HIIT workout session with Olympic gold medallist Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill.
This one-off experience will provide young people aged 14-18 the chance to train with the heptathlon icon, and participants will have the chance to ask questions about Dame Jessica's journey to Olympic success and find out more about the mindset needed to reach the highest levels of athletic achievement.
The training session will take place on Saturday 31st May 2025 in Sheffield.
Steve Adams, CEO of Mattress Online, says: “As an organisation we’re passionate about sleep and health, so naturally we also believe in the power of fitness and sport. We are delighted to be inviting applications for a place at this special event, connecting young talent with a role model like Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, and hopefully helping them on their own sporting journey as potential future Team GB Olympians.”
The session was the result of a winning auction bid placed by Steve during a charity ball held in benefit of Sheffield-based The Children’s Hospital Charity, for which Dame Jessica is a patron.
Young athletes aged between 14-18 years old who are passionate about sport and eager to learn from Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill are invited to apply here.
