The True Athlete Project Community

The True Athlete Project Community is the membership arm of The True Athlete Project (TAP) — a US nonprofit and UK charity co-founded by Sam Parfitt — designed for athletes, coaches, and sport practitioners who want to develop their inner life alongside their athletic performance. TAP operates from the belief that being an athlete means nurturing mind, body, and spirit, and using that personal growth to positively shape the world. The community gives members access to a network of like-hearted practitioners, TAP's online courses, and the organization's holistic programs which draw on mindfulness, performance psychology, compassion practices, tai-ji, and non-violent communication. TAP also runs a global year-long mentoring program connecting experienced athletes and coaches with aspiring young athletes across the Americas and Europe. Members can participate in charity fundraising events like Mindful Miles runs, contribute to TAP's scholarship fund for young athletes, and connect with an international community of practitioners committed to using sport as a force for social good. The organization has received praise from Olympians and works with teams, schools, colleges, and international sports federations.
