The Critical Need

WCA reaches young women athletes at a critical stage (15-26), strengthening their confidence and skills to become future leaders at a time when society tells them they can’t.

What it means to coach with WCA

"It is a community of inspiring people who support each other, and strengthened my leadership skills. lf I were to describe WCA to a friend I would say it was the most impactful organization that I could’ve been a part of especially because of how much it taught me and all the great benefits and opportunities I received."

"Getting more women involved in coaching sports will help women develop the leadership skills and confidence to be strong and impactful leaders in our organizations, institutions, businesses, and communities. Seeing more women in coaching roles will help everyone recognize, respect and value women as leaders in all areas of our society."

"Sports has the power to shape and change lives in a positive way and there is nothing more important than creating a future in sports that brings in all voices. We all get better when there are diverse perspectives, and we embrace those perspectives. The work the Women’s Coaching Alliance is doing is critical for creating this space for athletes and coaches. Women deserve all the same opportunities as any other gender and a world with more female role models is a better one."
