LET’S GOOOOOOO!

First things first: Watch this quick onboarding video to kick off your Athlete Mentor experience.

Welcome to ZGiRLS! We are are SO glad you’re here. Thanks for helping us show girls what they’re capable of.

Next, help us get to know you better by answering a few questions for us.

Before each

session…

Depending on which session you’ll help lead, there are lots of different questions you can ask yourself to spark ideas for stories to tell.

Once you’ve gotten some inspo, it’s time to get ready for your prep call. It’s 30 mins to an hour with your ZGiRLS Program Coordinator and Facilitator, and it gives you the chance to:

• Get to know the team

• Walk through the program script together

• Talk through stories and experiences you might want to share

• Get a feel for how the session will flow

    • What’s something you weren’t naturally good at but got better at with practice?

    • Think of a time when you’ve caught yourself thinking “I’m just not good at this.” What helped you improve?

    • What’s something that feels easy now but was really hard when you started doing it?

    • Have you ever tied your self-worth to how well you were performing?

    • Think of something(s) you value about yourself that have nothing to do with your sport or performance.

    • What has helped you figure out who you are outside of your sport?

    • Think of a failure or setback that felt huge to you in the moment but looks different to you now,.

    • Has there been a time when you felt like failure taught you more than succeeding may have?

    • Have you ever wanted to quit something after it went badly? What kept you going?

    • Did you struggle with standing up for yourself when you were younger?

    • When have you had to speak up for yourself even though it felt uncomfortable?

    • Have you ever stayed quiet about something and then wished you would have said something?

    • Who or what helps you trust your own voice?
