Holistic Wellness Coaching
for Young Female Athletes
I help young female athletes elevate their performance and well-being by reconnecting them to their power—body, mind, and spirit—so they can express their full potential with joy and confidence.
Dr. Ali Ross, PT, DPT specializes in supporting high school and collegiate athletes through holistic wellness coaching. This personalized program nurtures the athlete’s body, mind, and spirit.
Are you looking for:
🌟 Injury prevention and recovery
🌟 Athletic skill development and mastery
🌟 Technique improvement
🌟 Performance optimization - in sport and life
🌟 Embodiment of joy, passion, and purpose
🌟 Cultivation of divine power and sovereignty
This program addresses:
✅ Movement pattern training
✅ Body awareness integration
✅ Health habits education
✅ Mindset development
✅ Soulful alignment and expression
Young female athletes require thoughtful, individualized care. As they grow and develop, their physical and emotional needs differ from their male counterparts and from fully developed women. Supporting them well means recognizing these nuances and approaching their training and development with patience and understanding.
The young female athlete seeks equilibrium within the gray, in a world that rewards black-and-white dichotomies. She shouldn’t settle for anything in life.
She seeks strength yet flexibility.
She seeks power yet elegance.
She seeks control yet grace.
She seeks growth yet confidence.
She fosters grit and builds resilience. She demands precision. She embodies pure presence.
Young lady, are you committed to peak performance, both in sport and life?
This program is a highly intentional, 3-month coaching container designed to support the young athlete who is ready to commit to herself. This isn’t a cookie-cutter program—it’s immersive and personally curated for each athlete. You’ll meet with Ali three times per month for private coaching, and you’ll gain access as an Exclusive Member in the Salta App. Inside the app, you’ll find your Private Coaching Messaging, Community Forums, Wellness Practices and Resources, Mentorship Spotlight, and all the other app core features.
The community forums are a cornerstone of your coaching program. This private, exclusive space is carefully vetted—only young female athletes are admitted. Every thread is heavily moderated by Ali, so you can feel confident that your conversations are safe, positive, and empowering. Here, you’ll connect peer-to-peer: celebrating wins, sharing inspiration, and talking openly about struggles. You’ll also have access to dedicated spaces like the Sports Threads—to share about your training and performance—and the Community Wellness Threads, where all things body, mind, and spirit are open for discussion.
I will act as a(n):
Mirror
Sounding board
Advocate
Role model
Mentor
This coaching program is NOT therapy or counseling. Our focus is on your growth, performance, and development as an athlete. Coaching gives you tools, strategies, and accountability to help you reach your goals. This is about intentional guidance, structured support, and creating a space for you to thrive.

Sounds intriguing, right? Still not sure about your decision to dive in and join me?
Each program is thoughtfully tailored to the unique needs of you, the young female athlete. We’ll focus on the low-hanging fruit, your most pressing issues, and your top priorities—without wasting time on what isn’t relevant. While you remain the architect of your own life, working with me offers a fresh, unbiased, and compassionate perspective to help bring clarity and direction to your life path.
This coaching program will nurture your strengths, identify and address your limitations, and provide guidance to overcome struggles.
What’s Included:
Initial Appointment (1 hour via teleconference)
1. Comprehensive Wellness Questionnaire:
The initial appointment begins with review of your comprehensive health questionnaire. This is designed for you to tell me about yourself and provide me with a detailed overview of your current state of being.
2. Discussion and Setting of Goals:
Based on your health questionnaire and movement screen, we will spend time establishing achievable goals that are important to you. Goals not only serve to motivate you and provide trackable metrics, but they also serve the deeper purpose of understanding your WHYs and aligning with your HOWs.
3. Take Home Interventions and Implementations
We might identify just one issue or several, but we’ll begin simply. I won’t be throwing the kitchen sink at you. Learning to incorporate and embody new habits gradually yet consistently is key to achieving your goals and maintaining longevity.
4. Education on Salta App Resources
At the end of your session, we’ll spend a few minutes going over the Salta App—how to log in, navigate it, and make the most of all its features.
Follow Up Appointments (30-45 mintues via teleconference)
1. Review Progress:
In our follow-up meetings, we’ll check in on the goals you set and see how far you’ve come. We’ll celebrate your wins, talk about what’s working (and what’s tricky), and map out the next steps to keep you crushing your goals. This is your space to reflect, receive feedback, and continue to rise.
2. Movement Screen:
Typically done during our second meeting, this physical movement screen looks at the fundamental movement patterns required for athletes, including mobility, motor control, strength, and balance. This screen allows us to determine where you may be at risk for injury, losing power, or lacking technique or control.
3. Take Home Interventions and Implementations
Based on the progress you’ve made, we’ll choose your next moves and map out what to focus on the coming week—simple, intentional moves that help you more confident and in control of your growth.
4. Review of Salta App Resources
We’ll spend a few minutes exploring the Salta App together—seeing what’s working for you, answering any questions, and unlocking tips to make the app your ultimate tool for progress and growth.

Mindset tools for injury recovery
Strategies to rebuild confidence after time off
Support during return-to-sport transitions
Guidance for managing fear of re-injury

Building Physical, Mental & Emotional Resilience

Respond to adversity with strength and flexibility
Develop healthy coping strategies
Improve emotional regulation under pressure
Build communication skills and capacity
Balance academics, athletics, and social life
Managing Performance Anxiety
Performance anxiety in female athletes is not often discussed openly. Coaching includes:

Knowing When to Push vs. When to Recover
High-achieving young women often struggle with overtraining and burnout. I teach:

Parents of teenage female athletes often struggle with:

When to push her for accountability vs. when to provide comfort
How to support her health & well-being without your daughter perceiving you as overbearing
Supporting Your Daughter’s College Athlete Transition
When your daughter transitions to college athletics, the parent role shifts. Many parents wonder:
Where do I stand now?
How much input should I give?
How do I support her independence while staying connected?
What does healthy support look like from a distance?
Improving Parent–Daughter Communication
Parents often have difficulty knowing how to:
Celebrate your daughter’s success in ways that resonate with her
Respond to challenges or setbacks constructively
Manage your fears and doubts around your daughter’s sports injuries, mental and emotional health, and burnout
Become a trusted pillar of support
This coaching program equips your daughter with tools to communicate where she is at, what she’s struggling with, and how she wants to be supported.
The goal is not for you to step back completely, but to maintain connection while respecting her development and autonomy.
For Sports Coaches
You Can’t Do It All — And You Shouldn’t Have To
Sports coaches have many obligations and athletes to support. Limited time makes it difficult for you to:
Provide individualized mindset coaching
Navigate athletes’ body image or health concerns
Support athletes during injury recovery
Manage emotional challenges outside of sport
Conversations Athletes Don’t Always Have With Coaches
Some topics young female athletes are hesitant to bring to their coach, including:
Managing expectations and desires
Fear of failure or disappointing others
Body image pressures
Pain, overtraining, or burnout
Mental health and emotional challenges
Preventing Burnout & Strengthening Team Resilience
Preventing burnout in young athletes is critical for long-term performance and retention. Personalized wellness coaching helps your athletes:
Understand when to push and when to recover
Develop emotional regulation skills
Build focus and resilience through setbacks
Referring Your Athletes to Individualized Wellness Coaching
When young women feel supported, their performance improves, both individually and within the team. Referring your girls to wellness coaching allows you to:
Protect team culture
Improve confidence and communication
Strengthen athlete performance and satisfaction
This is not about replacing the coach–athlete relationship. This wellness coaching program serves as an extension of your leadership, helping support your girls in ways that strengthen your team as a whole.
