WeCOACH has a long history of offering year-round professional growth and leadership development programs for women coaches in all sports and levels. This new Member Benefits Partners Program will enhance and add value to the many existing benefits that come with a WeCOACH annual membership. The Partners who comprise this initial program rollout are some of the most well-respected experts in their respective fields–communication, mental health, DEI & belonging, leadership, program culture, generational strategies, career mapping, personal branding, and more. Several Partners are former coaches across multiple different sports who are now “coaching from a different sideline” by pouring their knowledge and expertise into the current generation of coaches, administrators, and student-athletes. Four Partners, Betsy Butterick (WCA Class #29), Anya Covington (WCA Class #47), Dr. Jen Fry (WCA Class #1), and Molly Grisham (WCA Class #19), are WeCOACH-NCAA Women Coaches Academy Graduates who continue to engage with and generously give back to our community through their current work as national experts, speakers and consultants. Partner Celia Slater (WeCOACH co-founder & founder of True North Sports) and Liz Masen (CEO & Client Director for Athlete Assessments), are some of the longest-tenured administrators and program faculty, respectively, in the history of WeCOACH. And longtime WeCOACH supporter, The United States Marine Corps, is also offering to enhance morale, culture, and teamwork for women coaches and their teams through the USMC Influencer Program. “Our WeCOACH Community is growing exponentially so we are incredibly appreciative and excited about partnering with so many talented professionals who will help us advance our mission of increasing and supporting women in coaching. These Partners will not only serve as presenters and faculty during our upcoming programs and events, but through this partnership we are creating affordable opportunities for our WeCOACH members to bring these Partners’ important work to their schools, campuses, and communities,” said WeCOACH CEO, Vanessa Fuchs.

Prior to Title IX, over 90% of women’s collegiate sports teams were coached by women. Today, 50 years later, data indicates that number has decreased to a stagnant 43% in Division I (41% in all three NCAA Divisions), with only 7.3% women coaches of color. A dearth 5% women coach men's teams, and at the youth level, the data is hard to estimate (approx. <20% of teams are coached by women). As part of its year-long Title IX 50th Anniversary campaign, WeCOACH launched MOVE the NUMBERS to help change the landscape for women coaches and to impact history for the next 50 years.
