Team Jazz

In 2008, Jazz Apples began a search for 10 young sports enthusiasts who had dreams of sports stardom. After months of scouring the country, the first ten members of Jazz Apple's Team Jazz were selected in December 2008. The successful ten were made up of an eclectic mix of athletes including a snow-boarder, a rower, a basketball player, two cyclists, a beach volleyball international, a fearless climber, a Tae Kwon-Do expert, a javelin thrower and a sail-boat racer. The lucky ten each received £1000 to help them in their pursuit of sporting glory as well as kit and a publicity campaign.

Team Update

Tim Linsell

Hoping to one day follow in the footsteps of the sailing legend Ben Ainslie, Tim Linsell has continued to progress and make a name for himself in the sport. Recently becoming the youngest ever Lark National Champion, Tim will now be competing in the Endeavor Trophy in September. This is a competition open to all national champions from different classes of boat. Good luck Tim!

Helen Glover
A real star, Helen and her team mate Heather Stanning rowed their way into the history books by becoming the first ever British women to win an Olympic gold medal for rowing. The star pairing were also the first Gold medalists for Team GB at the Olympics.

Martin Morgan
It’s been a busy 12 months for Martin which has seen him win the British Tae Kwon Do under 18 championships in November and then complete the three peaks challenge for charity. Not one to rest on his laurels, as well as setting his sights on the 2016 Olympics, Martin is also embarking on new mission to break the Guinness Book of Record for the quickest time from Land's End to John O'Groats and then back again by bike.
