What is
VOLTA?

In the world of literature, VOLTA is "a turn in thought."

At VOLTA, we believe that one's true potential is achieved through a mindset shift from "success and goal-oriented" to "Significance focused." This fundamental shift changes how athletes, coaches, and leaders approach their craft and their lives.
