PLYR.PATHWAYS
Built on the belief that a player is a person first, PLYR.PATHWAYS is a personalised development ecosystem designed to support footballers to proactively plan for macro and micro transitions 1:1 across every stage of their career.
The framework focuses on re-identity, confidence, wellbeing, strengths, skills growth, and proactive long term transition readiness. It supports players at academy, professional, semi professional, released, and retired levels with proactive curated planning and guidance rather than reactive one time interventions.
TPA Elite is an independent player transition and development agency, built to prepare the modern footballer for the realities that exist beyond the pitch.
Founded by lived expertise
TPA Elite was founded by Leanna Newman, a people development specialist, Master in People Management and Development, a certified strengths practitioner with over 20 years of global experience. Alongside her work in people and development, she is ADPL qualified, safeguarding trained, and a licensed FIFA agent.
This unique combination bridges elite sport, people and development, employability, and long term career planning.
A connected, personalised approach
TPA Elite combines psychology, strengths based assessment, mentoring, employability, and dual career planning with digital innovation and AI supported learning.
The result is a personalised and proactive framework that helps players understand who they are, navigate uncertainty, and build meaningful futures. This includes preparation for both expected and unexpected transitions during a football career.
Independent. Trusted. Player first.
TPA Elite operates independently from clubs and selection structures. This allows players to access trusted, qualified support without performance or contract pressure.
We act as a valuable extension to players, clubs, academies, agents, and representation agencies by strengthening the person behind the performance.
By partnering with TPA Elite, players and organisations gain expert led holistic development that creates long term competitive advantage while ensuring players receive the consistent 1:1 support they deserve.
