Khadija's Journey: Empowered by Girl FWD
“The Girl FWD Program was a wonderful experience for me. As an athlete, confidence is one of the key parts in doing well and succeeding. At the start, I would say I was somewhat confident, but not to the level where I wouldn’t second guess most things.
As I moved on into different lessons of the curriculum, I noticed lots of changes in how I respond to challenges and difficult situations, as well as a decrease in negative thoughts, indecisiveness, and second-guessing.
Over the 3 months I worked with my Movemeant coach, I’ve felt better about myself and learned to validate my feelings without bringing myself down or putting myself in a state of despair.
I’ve grown a lot more than I thought I would during this course and learned a lot about myself. I've developed my confidence, patience and resilience which has been very empowering to me. At the end of the course, I felt like a better version of myself and feel myself getting better every day.”
