About Us

More than a zoom call...

Funded and supported by Sir Richard Branson's not-for-profit company Virgin StartUp - we're trying to change the world.

We’re a movement, a revolution, an angry mob and a catalyst for change. We want to share our knowledge and skills to apply sports psychology to create positive change around the world. We want to be the most affordable, innovative, accessible and disruptive self-development movement globally.

At the heart of TLA is the belief that we all deserve to be our absolute best, feel amazing and strive to reach the biggest goals we can possibly think of. Like anything, people always need support to get there and that's why we exist.
