Youth Programs
At 1812 Coaching, we are dedicated to empowering the next generation of women. We provide a supportive, girls-only environment where young women can drop their guard, find their voices, and build the foundation for a confident future.
We recognize that every girl’s journey is different. Whether she is navigating the unique brilliance of a neurodivergent brain or looking to build unshakeable body confidence, we have a place for her.
Mighty Girls | The Physical Literacy Path
Mighty Girls is a high-energy, supportive group program designed to help girls build a positive relationship with their bodies and their peers. In a world that often tells girls how they "should" look or act, this program provides a safe, girls-only space to discover what they are truly capable of.
The Foundation: This program is built on the concept of Body Confidence—the idea that movement should be a source of joy and strength, not a chore. We focus on developing physical literacy through fun, challenging, and collaborative activities that help girls:
-
Build Physical Boldness: Developing the skills and coordination that allow girls to move through the world with "unshakeable" confidence.
-
Cultivate Sisterhood: Learning the value of team-building, peer support, and healthy social connections in a judgment-free zone.
-
Master Mind-Body Connection: Teaching girls to listen to their bodies, set healthy boundaries, and appreciate their physical strength.
The Result: Strength in Community Mighty Girls is about more than just staying active. By combining physical empowerment with mentorship, we help girls find their voices and develop the social courage to take up space. It’s a place where girls learn that being "mighty" isn't just about muscle—it's about the confidence to lead, the heart to support others, and the strength to be themselves.
Mighty Girls classes are divided according to grade level.
-
SparkHer: grades 1-3
-
IngniteHer: grades 4-6
-
ElevateHer: grades7-9
Mighty Minds | The Neuro-Affirming Space
Mighty Minds is a specialized, one-on-one program dedicated to girls who process the world differently. We celebrate neurodivergence by teaching girls how to work with their unique brains, focusing on emotional regulation, self-advocacy, and the confidence to be their authentic selves.
The Science: Movement does more than just burn energy it actually rewires the brain. For neurodivergent girls, physical activity acts as a natural spark for the brain's "feel-good" chemicals—dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. These play a vital role in areas where neurodivergent thinkers often struggle:
-
Focus & Attention: Naturally sharpens executive functioning and mental clarity.
-
Emotional Balance: Regulates mood and helps calm a sensitive nervous system.
-
The Growth Mindset: Through movement-based challenges, girls learn to embrace effort, bounce back from frustration, and feel proud of their progress.
Beyond the Workout: It’s not just about getting physically stronger. By combining personal training with a deep understanding of neurodiversity, we help your daughter feel capable, calm, and confident from the inside out. This is where she stops trying to "fit in" and starts learning to lead with her own unique strengths.
