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.
Join UsWhy 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.

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!

It Worked for Them, It'll Work for You Too

"I am a coach, personal trainer, and yoga instructor. I thought the Menopause 2.0 course was really incredible. It's going to help me as I ease into my own transition into perimenopause and then the rest of my life beyond that. Plus, I feel much more equipped to better serve the women that I coach. Thank you for putting out this information, and I hope that more coaches and women choose to take it."

"I am a 51-year-old mom of two boys, a wife, and a social worker, and I loved this course. Perimenopause hit me hard last winter with lots of physical changes that really impacted my overall physical and mental health and well-being. I started with the book Next Level and then thought that this course would be fantastic, and it was. I recommend it to anyone who is either going to be in menopause at some point or knows somebody in menopause."

"I have been taking the Menopause 2.0 course to improve my BMX racing performance. I hit the menopause, and I definitely saw a downturn in my performance. I was very lethargic, and I was like, there must be an answer. I came across Dr. Sims and thought the Menopause 2.0 course was absolutely spot on. It's exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much, Stacy, for this course. I have absolutely enjoyed every part of it."
