PROGRAM OVERVIEW
WeCONNECT Women Coaches is coach-led & coach-inspired. Join one or more WeCONNECT huddles to engage in powerful peer-to-peer learning, foster meaningful networking connections and be part of an uplifting support group. WeCONNECT is designed to bring women coaches from diverse backgrounds, sports, and levels together virtually, to empower each other.
Our inaugural year will feature 5 WeCONNECT Women Coaches Huddles:
- Timely Issues for College Coaches
- Timely Issues for Youth, Club, Middle & High School Coaches
- Women of Color Amplified
- Moms in Coaching
- Inclusive Cultures
WeCONNECT “Co-Captains” will organize and facilitate throughout the academic year. These dedicated peer leaders will guide discussions to create an inclusive safe space for coaches to share openly and tap into the learning experiences and advice from other huddle members.
Participants may join as many WeCONNECT Huddles as you wish— commit the time, engage regularly in meetings and come prepared to contribute to the conversations. Co-Captains determine the frequency of huddle meetings (no more than once per month) based on member availability.
