Team Talks – The Virago Project, Inc.

TEAM TALK workshops

Discussing hard-to-tackle topics with your team.

It's time to have "the talk".

Being an athlete is tougher today than ever before. The pressure we feel stems from a variety of sources; whether it be from increasing academic loads, demands from our coaches and teammates, comparison traps we find ourselves in while scrolling through social media, or our own internal dialogues.

Our Team Talk workshops equip young sportswomen with the tools needed to set goals, manage stress, navigate change, and become empowered leaders.

Each evidence-based workshop is reviewed by sports psychologists, dietitians, and leadership experts, then delivered to your team by former DI athletes who can relate to the challenges your squad is facing now. We guide conversations, share stories, and answer all of your teams’ questions about navigating the physical and emotional highs and lows of life in sports.

RELATABLE

Our workshops are led by recently graduated college student-athletes. We were in your teams’ shoes, not too long ago, and connect with your athletes as friends who “get it”.

ENGAGING

We like to keep the mood light! We run polls and play games that encourage your athletes to have open conversations, explore solutions, and ask tough questions.

EFFECTIVE

When it’s all said and done, your athletes will walk away with a game plan that outlines exactly how to take action towards their goals, manage stress, plan for the future, and put leadership into practice.

We were fortunate enough to have a Team Talk hosted by The Virago Project! Our chat focused on self-care, motivation, and confidence. Taylor did an excellent job encouraging our players to chat about success, failure, and our mental well being when coping with stress. I received numerous text messages from my players after the Team Talk saying how refreshing the conversation was!

I can’t tell you how much we appreciate Taylor and The Virago Project coming and taking the time to speak and work with us. We always say that if we make a positive difference in one athlete a day during this time we are doing a great job, and I know they made such a difference in the women who were able to come. Thank you for taking the time to help us process some big feelings and emotions!

Thank you SO much for talking with the team! The girls felt so upbeat and positive afterwards and it was so great for me to see them share all the things they like about themselves. The Virago Project is amazing and I will definitely continue to recommend to other coaches!

Timing for this talk ended up being perfect. With the election on the horizon and the university decision looming for the spring, there has recently been a heightened sense of anxiety. TVP's conversation helped them to remember how to acknowledge and manage how they feel while also highlighting some of the positives they have recently gained from the challenging situations they have faced.
