WHY BRAVEHEART?
I know that there are other kids running programs out there! So, why ours?
1. We love your kids. Like, have so, so much fun showing up for them each week and listening to them as we help them get stronger and run farther. They are just the coolest people, for real.
2. Sort of a continuation of 1, really. Seeing a child cross a finish line for the first time, improve their speed, or run 2 miles without a walk break for the first time is life-changing! They carry that sense of accomplishment for far longer than the hour we meet.
3. We are a small, local, women-owned business and employer. I hire other local moms and teenagers with a similar vision- that good health is key and a great mindset can change everything.
4. We give back locally and globally! We have donated to a dozen local schools; provided meals for dozens of families during annual food drives; sponsor families for the holidays each year; supported local families fundraising for causes that are important to them; and donate to the special Olympics each year. Giving back has been a huge priority from day one and hasn’t waivered.
5. Continuing education! Yoga and run coach certifications; CPR and Red Cross cert; and countless hours of studying technique, mindset coaching, running and fitness form, warmup practices, nutrition and fueling our bodies, and fun active games help guide our lessons. We want your kids to have a great coaching experience that genuinely brings out their best!
6. Our Braveheart family. We stick together! You’ll hear the kids cheering each other on, forming friendships as they run, and helping each other when needed. Running is a sport that both compliments team sports and can be done completely separately from team sports, and we nurture all of our runners to find their own sweet spot. All kids have the opportunity to shine here, and their running friends will encourage them along the way!
If you’ve read this far 🙃, spring signups are live on our site!!! Hope to see your kiddos out there!
