Our I AM FIERCE mission is:
To educate girls, grades 3rd - 5th, on the impact physical strength has on mental strength.
Teaching through this powerful combination of physical and mental coaching, we empower girls to recognize their unique abilities and individual strengths, allowing them to build confidence, self-esteem, and improved physical fitness.
Our program is also coached and experienced as a FIERCE Team to create camaraderie, support, and friendship which is challenging during this age, particularly for those girls that aren’t involved in organized sports.
Every girl that participates in “I AM FIERCE” will experience improvement in physical fitness, the ability to make informed nutrition choices, improved confidence and self-esteem, and a mental capacity to manage time, stress/anxiety, and life balance.
