The Tenacity Way.
Crafted over years of elite play by
world-class coaches and players,
The Tenacity Way is more than a training method—it’s a mindset.
We believe the same habits that make a great athlete make a great human being: discipline, confidence, and resilience in the face of challenge. Our approach blends fun with collegiate-level lacrosse instruction across five main areas:
Skill-building
Game IQ
Mental Wellness
Leadership
Community
OUR MISSION
The Tenacity Project is a women-led movement that uses lacrosse as a vehicle to provide all girls access to opportunities to learn, play, and live with tenacity.
OUR PURPOSE
To help girls navigate life’s challenges by providing a supportive environment where they can develop the necessary tools to become successful on & off the field.
Through our athletic programs, we cultivate tenacious student-athletes who are goal-setters, problem-solvers, and collaborators. Our players learn the skills to play and live under pressure. We know that adversity cannot be prevented in our girls’ lives, but the translatable skills that our players acquire through sports will help them meet these challenges with confidence and community.
OUR APPROACH
We facilitate dynamic, fun, challenging experiences that meet athletes where they are and inspire them to pursue better.
We enlist the nation’s best coaches to implement our first-in-class curriculum that incorporates top college training and Olympic development programming.
We strategically unite coaches with players and families to create powerful communities of support and enrichment.
As a not-for-profit organization, we are proud to be able to provide scholarships to girls in need.
We praise effort and train you to train yourself.
We possess a deep belief in the importance of mental health fitness and therefore weave journalling, breathwork, and yoga into every session.
OUR GOALS
To empower all Tenacity players to realize their full potential as lacrosse players and leaders in their communities.
To remove barriers that prevent girls from playing and staying in the game.
To grow the game of lacrosse and provide access to elite athletic opportunities regardless of gender and socioeconomic status.
Get better while nobody’s watching.
Every drill, every huddle, every reflection builds strength from the inside out. We encourage and embrace multi-sport athletes and train girls to train themselves—to take ownership of their growth, lift up their teammates, and lead with courage.
“The Tenacity community—coaches, parents, alumni, and players—works together to shape young women who are tough, self-reliant, and ready for whatever comes next.
The Tenacity Way is more than just how we play the game. It’s how we live our lives.”
