What Coaches Say

What Coaches Say...
Rewarding...
"You walk away feeling good about yourself, feeling good about the girls, and you make friends. It’s rewarding."
Believing...
"The simple act of listening and believing in [the girls] meant the
world to them. Having an adult in their life that they could talk to
without judgment changed the way they thought about themselves and
their world."
Energizing...
“I leave team meetings amazed at
how energetic, intelligent, and insightful the girls are. We talk about
everything from racism, poverty, to of course, middle school romance! I
walk away inspired.
Refreshing...
"If you’re looking for an ongoing connection with a group of girls, this is the right opportunity.
Works seems so uptight, this life changing experience is refreshing."
Inspiring...
The greatest thing about coaching
has been watching the girls’ self-esteem and confidence grow
exponentially since starting the program. The girls have gone from shy
and 'taking the world as it is' to outgoing and 'changing the world to
what it needs to be'. They are willing to tackle problems and keep
working toward improvement."
Life-changing...
"I’ve felt an improvement in my
life through this. I’ve found a greater purpose for my own being. And
the constant enthusiasm and support of GFC staff has kept me afloat to
want to do more for my team as well as my own life
friendships/relationships. Thank you over and over again for this life
experience!"
Transforming...
"The solution focused nature of GFC is very positive & builds resiliency. I feel more positive as a person."
Career-building...
"I discuss my coaching role and my team in job interviews! Everyone is impressed."
