Puberty
Puberty brings significant physical, hormonal and emotional changes that can affect how a player feels and performs. Understanding what is happening helps coaches recognize these changes, adjust their support and expectations, and help girls stay confident and engaged in the game.
What to Know
Changes in coordination, energy, confidence and performance can be a normal part of puberty. Coaches can help by adjusting expectations, supporting fueling and recovery, creating space for players to check in, and reinforcing that these changes are part of development.
