Coaching is about modeling.  It is about setting an example.  Being the person someone can learn from by watching, listening, and conversing.  Being a coach requires being in the limelight to show your girls that we all struggle with the same negative self-talk, the same tiredness, and the same flaws that make us beautifully unique.  

This year, Girls on the Run Kansas City is celebrating a special milestone: 10 years of leadership from our President & CEO, Gina Lichte.

Coaching is about connections.  It’s about relationships.  It’s about creating space for our girls to struggle, grow, and soar.  Every practice holds the space to listen, question, awaken, and strengthen.  We listen to our girls and awaken confidence.

The first week of practices are the perfect space and time to build a Champion Culture within your team.  A Champion Culture requires trust and rapport between the coaches and girls, the coaches with other coaches, and the girls with other girls.  A Champion Culture is earned moment by moment.  It is in the small details of your practice where we bring our true self.  It invites authenticity and openness for every person to feel valued, connected, and empowered. In this episode of IGNITE, we will explore the various ways to build trust and rapport within your team for the foundation of your Champion Culture.

Girls on the Run Serving Greater Kansas City officially kicked off the fall season with two Season Kickoff sessions on Thursday, September 10 and Saturday, September 12.

Girls on the Run Kansas City simply wouldn’t be possible without our coaches.

Season after season, you show up with your time, energy, encouragement and enthusiasm to create a space where girls can build confidence, strengthen connections and discover just how much they’re capable of. We see you, we appreciate you—and we want coaching with GOTRKC to be rewarding for you, too.

On Saturday, August 15, members of the Girls on the Run Greater Kansas City community joined participants from across Kansas City at CPKC Stadium for a morning focused on something that can make a life-changing difference: knowing how to respond in an emergency.

It’s an accomplishment that reflects an extraordinary level of commitment from the chapter and its members — but its impact goes far beyond the dollars raised.
