This is Me

We hear it nearly every single day from parents, teachers, and coaches alike, a glaring deficiency they are noticing in their girls and the students or athletes they interact with is a complete and total lack of self-confidence. And what we know about confidence is this: it’s hard to start building it without addressing what’s causing it to waiver in the first place. From our experience, if you’re looking to help your girls grow in their confidence, a good place to start is by helping them understand where their blind spots are. Blind spots include things like imposter syndrome, comparisonitis, not enoughness and a few of our personal favorites, overthinking and storytelling.

Not many things will stunt your confidence like overthinking and storytelling and the problem is, it’s easier to fall down these rabbit holes now more than ever before especially (but not limited to) with having the ability to invite millions of our closest friends into our living room via social media. Storytelling and overthinking are not mutually exclusive of one another but they often coexist within the rabbit hole we mentioned above and can turn a once confident kiddo into a teen or tween who is paralazyed by stress and anxiety.

In this month's workshop, we want to help girls understand what storytelling and overthinking can look like as to make it easier for them to identify when they are partaking in one or both activities. We want to teach them that they are the driver’s of their energy bus and other people can only take up the driver's seat if they allow them access to it.
