About Total Inspiration Athletics
Our Story
We envision a world where emotional intelligence is at the heart of how we learn, lead, and live- prioritized in schools, workplaces, homes, and communities.
At Total Inspiration Athletics, we use cheer and tumble as a tool for kids to build confidence, character, and connection while also cheering for the adults who guide them.
Our goal is to raise a generation of champions with character — confident, kind, and capable young people who will become tomorrow’s leaders, teachers, and decision-makers.
Our approach blends movement, mindfulness, and mentorship to build skills that last far beyond the gym and the classroom — helping kids grow stronger on the inside and out, while reminding families, teachers, and coaches that we all play a part in shaping greatness.

Tia Forlizzi, Founder
Coach Tia is the founder and Head Coach of Total Inspiration Athletics. A coach, mentor, mom, and social worker by heart and training, Tia has built an ecosystem, Total Inspiration Nation, that inspires kids to dream big, work hard, and believe in themselves — while cheering just as loudly for the parents, teachers, and mentors who guide them. Through programs, classes, videos, virtual training, digital products, memberships, and community partnerships, she bridges the gap between school, activities and home, helping families, coaches, and educators reinforce core values like effort, respect, perseverance, commitment, and integrity. Her mission is simple but powerful: To raise stronger, healthier, and happier kids, families, and communities — one cartwheel, one back flip, one cheer, one conversation, and one act of effort at a time.
