Inspiring GOTR Girls to Go the Distance

10/29/2018

As GOTR coaches, we’ve all been there: It’s a few weeks into your season, the amount of time spent running is increasing, and you start to hear, “Do I realllyyyyy have to run today?” Even the most confident girls can feel overwhelmed by a long-distance run. So, how do we motivate the girls to run or “walk with a purpose”, as I like to say, when that’s the last thing on their mind?

NEW! Fall 2018 5K Cheer Signs

10/29/2018

Hip! Hip! Hooray! Pretty soon you and your girls will make your way to the end-of-season 5K event! This is the time where teams come together and celebrate the accomplishment of girls setting a goal to and preparing to cross the finish line. This moment, celebrated with friends, family, teachers/school administrators and other members of the community, will be the beginning of many more victories GOTR girls will experience in their lives! You encouraged your girls well and kept them motivated along the way. You helped your girls find their confidence in moments of uncertainty; you ran a lap or two with them to troubleshoot or ponder the complexities of girl-life and you inspired them to go many an extra mile. You observed your girls helping each other, finding their Star Power and embracing the concept of extending the Girl Wheel. Your girls have made incredible strides toward their seasonal feat – but it doesn’t stop here!
