Don’t just take our word for it…
The-Transition-Phase is an initiative that wants to make an impact. TTP was created by athletes, for athletes. We design our blog and online platform to help, educate, empower, and inspire you to navigate dual-careering and career transition with ease. You can also use this page to read interviews with athletes just like you, who applied their sporting skills successfully into a career.
Is there something you’d like to see more on our blog? We’d love to hear from you if so!
It’s never too soon to be prepared, so don’t wait, get ahead by contacting us today.
