The Female Coaches Club Podcast
Mission: To connect, unify, empower, enhance and build a clear pathway for females in the world of athletic coaching. This has been on my heart for a long time. I finally went for it. If you are (or have been in the past) a female athlete, coach or competitor in some way, or have a daughter, female family member etc. who is- THIS IS FOR YOU AND THEM! Inviting all ideas, topics, comments, and experiences to be shared and discussed. For all the women walking the coaching road, more of us are joining. To all the women of the 90s who bravely stood alone on the sidelines of courts, fields, pools, floors, and any other platform in the athletic arena. Thank you! This is for you!
