THE ISSUE
-
A girl's self-esteem peaks at age 9.
-
By age 14 girls' confidence levels drop by 30%.
-
Between the ages of 12 and 13 the percentage of girls who say they're not allowed to fail increases by 150%.
-
Coaches & athletes consistently cite a lack of confidence and mental skills as biggest influence on poor performance.
-
Even as women, confidence levels typically don't return to our 9 year-old peak
PEAK 9 WAS CREATED TO CHANGE THAT
OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION IS TO SPREAD THE POWER OF CONFIDENCE
We utilize the sport environment as our tool to empower women & girls to become powerful, confident athletes and women of the future.
The What And The How
We work with girls and women of all ages. But we know our greatest impact is working with 11-18 year old girls and college athletes to help them build their Confidence, Courage, and Resilience so they feel empowered to live confidently now and in the future.
Keep going to see how we do it.
