Ghailene Khattali competed for Tunisia in canoe sprint at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 and says the platform has been an asset as he pursues a dual career: “Athlete365 represents a window for me to find all the programmes that can help me as an athlete or as an entrepreneur.”
One of the key pillars of the Athlete365 offering is its learning platform, with courses designed to help athletes and their entourages gain new skills and knowledge across a wide array of topics. Athlete365 Learning also collaborates with Worldwide Olympic Partners (TOPs) such as Alibaba, Airbnb, Allianz, Coca Cola, Deloitte, P&G, Samsung and Visa to bring their expertise to athletes.
In 2024, nearly 17,000 athletes took more than 25,000 courses on Athlete365 Learning, a respective 46 per cent and 31 per cent rise on the previous year. “We have expanded our resources beyond career support to include mental health, safeguarding and personal brand development, continuously adapting to athletes’ evolving needs,” explains Maria Ntanou, Athlete & Olympian Communications Manager – and three-time Winter Olympian herself.
As a free tool available to all who sign up, Athlete365 Learning is accessible to any athlete – wherever they are in their career. Romio Recardo Goliath, vice-chair of the Namibia AC and LA28 hopeful, says: “Athlete365 Learning has been a valuable resource in my wrestling journey, providing me with useful information, tips and guidance to improve my performance and well-being.”
Giving athletes a helping hand
For athletes who sign up to Athlete365, there is also a range of tangible support available – including the Airbnb Athlete Travel Grant and Airbnb500, which have reached thousands of athletes since their launch in 2020.
