Growth, Grit, and The Great Outdoors

The Initiative 

Life Coaching for Teens in Truckee/Olympic Valley from Mind Over Mountain. Outdoor experiences blended with professional life coaching help teens build confidence and resilience. Teens achieve growth.

Mind Over Mountain is an outdoor-based youth life coaching program designed to help teens build growth, grit, confidence, and resilience through outdoor adventure. Based in Lake Tahoe, we combine the thrill of action sports and wilderness exploration with meaningful one-on-one and group life coaching.

Our Stoke Coaches are passionate leaders who guide teens on adventures like hiking, paddleboarding, mountain biking, skiing, snowshoeing and more — not just for the thrill of it, but to foster personal growth. Each session blends adventure with reflection, helping young people develop self-efficacy, self-awareness, and the tools to navigate life’s ups and downs.
