NEXT GEN: Training Active Girls For Health & Performance
Perfect for female and male parents, coaches, trainers, teachers, and health professionals who want to understand the changes that occur throughout puberty for active teenage girls.
Why we should focus on teenage girls:
- There’s a higher dropout rate of sport and physical activity in young women than young men.
- Keeping girls physically active improves confidence, psychological resilience, and academic and professional success later in life.
- Watch this 10-minute video to learn more.
By the end of this course you will:
- Have a starting point for more comfortable conversations with your daughters (I’m talking to you, dads!) about sensitive topics like physical and psychological changes, sociocultural influences, and menstrual cycles.
- Open up dialogue around girls and women in sport, and the unique challenges they face physically and societally (can we talk about appropriate girls’ uniforms?) in contrast with their male peers.
- Shed light on the language that is used (often casually and subconsciously) in sports that lifts up and encourages boys while holding back and discouraging active girls.
- Empower you with the knowledge (and confidence) to create momentum for change in this space so we can normalize girls being active and strong.
- Be able to track how you feel as an active teenage girl physically and mentally, and how to navigate body and menstrual changes now and in the future.
It’s time to take action!

Hi, I'm Stacy...
I'm a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women.
I have directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women.
I currently reside at the beach in Mt. Maunganui, New Zealand, with my husband and young daughter.

What our audience has to say about this course:
Next Gen was incredible! As a healthcare provider to young athletes, I have gained a deeper understanding of how their bodies are changing and how we, as therapists, parents, and coaches, can support their healthy and sustainable development. The course was clear, informative, and practical. I especially appreciated the focus on injury prevention and recovery; things we don't always think about until there's a problem. It was also great to have real case studies. I would highly recommend this course to anyone involved in female youth sports!
Wendy H (Canada).
As a Registered Dietitian who volunteers to support high school athletes, and as a mom to a 15-year-old female athlete, the Next Gen training has been incredibly valuable. It deepened my understanding of performance nutrition and provided me with practical, evidence-based tools that I can use to help young athletes fuel smarter, recover better, and establish a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. I'm especially excited to bring these insights to the Nutrition Ambassador program at our school and support the next generation of strong, confident athletes.
Suzie F (USA).
Dr. Stacy Sims provides comprehensive and thorough information on training girls and teens through the changes of puberty. I learned so much that I can immediately use to help my athletic daughter, and I'm sure she'll love going through the modules too.
Carolyn E (USA).
Next Gen should be shared with all coaches working with young female athletes. Next Gen and Dr. Stacy are the next steps in supporting young female athletes in becoming the best versions of themselves and advocating for their physical, emotional, and mental needs.

“Love this. I also believe parents need to be educated that osteoporosis is a childhood disease that requires jumping , lifting, stressing bones and appropriate protein and minerals to prevent it later in life. Women disproportionately have this disease and it stems from not enough sport or exercise participation during critical years of bone development.”
“One comment I received and will never forget is ‘just sit there and look pretty’ from an older female relative. This wasn’t even in regard to physical activity but commenting on a play during a baseball game 🙄”
