OVERVIEW
Youth Female Athlete Performance - How to Train Young Women is organized by Niel Asher Education.
A practical course for coaches, therapists, trainers, and performance professionals working with young female athletes, focused on strength, speed, confidence, injury risk reduction, recovery, and long-term athletic development.
Youth Female Athlete Performance is presented by Erica Suter, former college and professional soccer player, Youth Speed, Agility, Strength, and Conditioning Coach, and author of The Strong Female Athlete.
This course provides a development-first framework for supporting young female athletes as complete individuals, helping professionals understand how physical development, movement quality, confidence, nutrition, recovery, and coaching environment all influence performance and wellbeing.
Course Overview
This 3-hour CE/CPD course explores the unique considerations involved in training and supporting young female athletes. Rather than focusing only on performance outcomes, the course emphasizes long-term development, athlete health, confidence, movement competency, and sustainable participation in sport.
Participants will examine how growth and maturation influence readiness for training, why confidence and athletic identity matter, how strength training can support resilience and performance, and how speed, power, landing mechanics, and change-of-direction skills can be developed progressively.
The course also addresses important health and recovery considerations, including energy availability, RED-S, menstrual health, hydration, sleep, workload management, and the importance of appropriate referral when concerns arise.
With video instruction, supporting written lessons, and an illustrated workbook, this course provides a practical and professionally relevant resource for those working with youth female athletes in coaching, rehabilitation, fitness, and performance settings.
