“The true value of this program cannot be measured. The WCA happened at exactly the right time for me to develop my coaching philosophy, identify my value in the profession, and understand some of the challenges I was facing. I do not think I would still be coaching without this experience. Academy 2.0 might just have the same impact. This is a totally necessary part of moving the needle and I’m eternally grateful for the connections and relationships built at this event. The passion you can feel in the folks hosting makes the academy extra special. These are incredible people doing important work.”
–Maria Stuber, The College of St. Scholastica, Head Coach, Men’s and Women’s Nordic Skiing, Academy 2.0 Class #5

“This is the most impactful professional development I have ever attended. The environment fostered by the facilitators creates the opportunity for deep connection and growth. The speakers are of the highest quality and the intimate sessions lead to elite development.”
– Samantha Schall, Head Coach, Men’s & Women’s Tennis, Grand Valley State University, Academy 2.0 Class #5

Attending Academy 2.0 was another taste of powerful female leaders. I am so thankful WeCOACH provides a platform for all of us to come together and learn from one another. Yet again, just like the WCA, there were fabulous presenters that were open, knowledgeable and empowering. It was a refreshing and challenging experience. I walked away with new mentors, resources and the motivation to continue to grow.
– Roz Ellis, Stanford University, Head Field Hockey Coach, Academy 2.0 class #2

Academy 2.0 was an extremely worthwhile experience that has positively impacted my journey as a coach and leader. The staff created an environment that fostered personal and professional growth, while providing valuable ideas for me to improve my program, and to continue to empower the coaching community. In our profession today, we often lose sight of the value of community, and Academy 2.0 emphasized the importance of community as we move forward toward creating sustainability and longevity in coaching.
 – Jen Klein, U of Michigan, Head Women’s Soccer Coach, Academy 2.0 class #1
