The British Athletes Commission (BAC) was set up in 2004 to represent the interests of athletes in Great Britain to the key decision makers in sport, and to help athletes in member sports set up and maintain athlete representative structures within their sport.
The BAC is an independent organisation representing the views of athletes to major decision making bodies such as the BOA, UK Sport and NGBs.
The mission of the BAC is to ensure that UK athletes in world class performance systems train and compete within a fair, supportive and transparent system, which gives them the best opportunity of reaching their sporting goals, and helps prepare them for success in life after sport.

“The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth ... the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us, and perverse spiritual athletes and strident self-transcenders of the best of us.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“A sense of humour keen enough to show a man his own absurdities as well as those of other people will keep a man from the commission of all sins, or nearly all, save those that are worth committing.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
