The True Athlete Project

For a More Compassionate World
through Sport

The world needs sport to be at its best. We re-imagine sport as a training ground for compassion, mindfulness, and mental wellbeing. We re-imagine the idea of an athlete as someone who develops mind and body to help others, and make the world a better place.

OUR VISION

"The True Athlete Project is a Fantastic Human Adventure"
- Anne-Sophie Thilo, Olympian and TAP Mentor

Sport can provide life changing moments of joy, freedom and meaning. But too often sport fails to live up to its potential, causing harm, and perpetuating injustice. We are not satisfied with the status quo, so we design and deliver a range of tailored, holistic programmes for all levels of sport, which unleash sport's potential as a force for good.

OUR PROGRAMMES

You Can Be Part of
The True Athlete Project

Sponsor a young person onto our global mentoring programme, with a scholarship in your name. You'll be supporting a life-changing, year-long relationship between mentor and mentee.

Our Holistic Approach

The TAP approach allows you to be you, who you truly are. When we work with you, we are truly present, we listen deeply. Our work is creative, and stretches beyond the realms of typical athlete, coach and organisational development. We tailor our programmes to your needs, and our team draw on a variety of techniques, such as mindfulness, tai-ji, compassion practices, non-violent communication, art, performance psychology, writing, exploring identity and values, and exercises in nature.
