WeCOACH Release
WeCOACH is a nonprofit dedicated to recruiting, advancing and retaining women coaches in all sports and levels through year-round professional growth and leadership development programs.
The WCA is designed for women coaches to elevate their holistic coaching effectiveness by learning advanced leadership skills and strategies that directly affect their personal and team success. Participants focus on non-sport-specific concepts in an environment that fosters inclusion across the sports community. The NCAA Academy 2.0 is a master-learning opportunity for WCA graduates to progress on the leadership, strategies and knowledge gained from their WCA experience.
"I'm thrilled that three SCIAC coaches have been chosen and sought out such beneficial professional development programming," SCIAC Commissioner Jenn Dubow said. "All three have experienced tremendous success with their teams, not just in competition but as mentors and educators developing life-long skills in their student-athletes. They are fantastic representatives for the conference and their institutions."
