Every girl deserves to feel confident. We’re here to help.

We host online programs with professional & Olympic female athletes, teaching girls the mental skills needed to overcome self-doubt and build lifelong confidence.

The Z in ZGiRLS represents our motto:
live with zero self-limitations

7 in 10 girls don’t believe in themselves. It doesn’t have to be this way.

THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE GIRLS LEARN CONFIDENCE SKILLS FROM WORLD-CLASS ATHLETES

WHY GIRLS NEED CONFIDENCE

The CDC reports that, “While all teens reported increasing mental health challenges, experiences of violence, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors, girls fared worse than boys across nearly all measures.”

Confidence is rooted in mental well-being. When poor self-esteem in adolescence is left unchecked, those feelings of self-doubt and mental insecurity will carry into adulthood.

We meet girls at a crucial developmental stage to instill confidence in their mindset before they let their insecurities hold them back from reaching their fullest potential.
