The best coaches teach more than technique.

They create a place where it’s safe to be new, encourage you through the hard reps, celebrate the small wins, and sometimes believe in your strength before you do.

Today is National Coaches Day! We’re celebrating those who show up, teach, encourage, and make room for the next generation of strong girls and women.

Who’s the coach you’ll never forget? Give them a shoutout in the comments.

October 5–11 is National Youth Sports Week and a good reminder that movement should have room for girls who don’t necessarily see themselves as “athletes,” too.

Not every girl is going to find her place on a field, court, or track. For some, strength training can offer another way in *and* a place to learn what her body can do, build confidence and belonging.

Every girl deserves somewhere safe to begin. See how Barbell Club is creating a place for girls to start at the link.

A new Women’s Sports Foundation report released September 30 found that gender participation gaps still remain in youth and high school sports. The report also raises concerns about the future of the collegiate pipeline, even as professional women’s leagues experience major growth in viewership, attendance, teams, and commercial opportunities.

The future of women’s sports starts long before the pros.

Invest in girls. Give them opportunities. Let them show us what happens next.

Learning to lift young is about *SO* much more than building muscle.

With proper instruction, strength training can help girls and teens build stronger bones and muscles, improve movement and physical confidence, and establish healthy habits they will carry into adulthood.

And sometimes, the biggest gain is realizing: I’m capable of more than I thought.

Help us give more girls the opportunity to discover their strength.
