Overview

The Attitude Advantage Program (TAAP) is a United States-based teen life coaching and youth development program founded by Jesse LeBeau. It describes itself as a comprehensive approach to helping teenagers build confidence, grit, and resilience, combining live motivational speaking events, original content and curriculum, and structured one-on-one coaching. The program serves youth across the United States and abroad, and is positioned as a proven support system for teens and the parents who care about them. The core offering is the Teen Coaching Program, a 1-on-1 teen life coaching service with weekly support and accountability. It is designed for families seeking structured, results-driven support, and is marketed to parents who feel their teen is capable of more but is hard to reach. The program emphasizes building confidence without arrogance, accountability without punishment, and support without enabling. Separate tracks exist for teen boys and teen girls, alongside a School Program and a range of digital resources. Beyond coaching, TAAP provides a library of resources including 'A Roadmap To Teen Success!', a Parent Masterclass titled '5 Shifts', an 'I Need New Friends' Starter Pack, a Guide To Teen Social Media Usage, and a Cell Phone Contract for Teens. A 60-second Parent Assessment helps families determine whether coaching is the right next step. The program also features testimonials from public figures such as actress Heidi Klum, NBA player Allen Iverson, and former Alaska Governor Bill Walker. TAAP is closely tied to the personal brand of its founder, Jesse LeBeau, a nationally recognized youth motivational speaker, teen life coach, and best-selling author. LeBeau is also known as a basketball trick artist featured on TV, film, and international tours, and his underdog story underpins the program's messaging. In 2017 he started The Attitude Is Everything, which evolved into The Attitude Advantage Program. His reality series 'TEAM UP' follows his work with youth around the country. The program operates as a private entity owned by LeBeau, with no public listing.
