At the Olympic Games, athletes aim to realise their physical potential on a worldwide stage. Microsoft is sponsoring Team GB because we enjoy helping people realise their potential. Our technology helps people to do more, more easily. It connects people and organisations in powerful ways. It gives people the tools they need to produce amazing work. We are truly dedicated to realising people's potential using technology.

Train like an Olympic athlete
As part of our sponsorship of the British Olympic Association, we've produced a downloadable training manual that shows you how Britain's world-class athletes plan their training. This training manual contains exactly the same diary and motivational aids that Olympic athletes use.

The diary and aids all point out the value of making a specific commitment to measurable goals, and having a balanced approach to training and relaxing. To help you make the best possible start with your training diary, the document contains a real diary as used by Kate Allenby, a bronze medal winning Team GB pentathlete.
