Support Female Athletes
Our Mission
We believe action sports are the ultimate training ground for female mental toughness. Our mission is to lower the financial barriers that hold girls back, because the girl who lands a 720 after 117 attempts becomes a woman who can face anything. Tough discovers these athletes, tells their story beyond the podium, and makes it easy for anyone to back them.
Our Athletes
Find athletes to support
The more followers an athlete has the more likely she will get sponsored by a brand — which allows her to continue to compete.
Events
Watch them compete live
No one wants to compete in an empty stadium. When you show up in person, you tell these athletes their dream is worth chasing — and help them turn a passion into a career.
