Hope everyone had a good Juneteenth!! I was selected into the WeCOACH Academy class #53, on their 21st anniversary! I was sponsored by an organization called Legends of the Ball. I had the pleaser of seeing women that I have looked up to be awarded as Lifetime Achievement Recipients. There were 3 on stage but what was most aspiring to me was to see Coach Bev. Kearney, Track & Field, the 1st Black Women Head Coach at the University of Texas and a recording from Coach C. Vivian Stringer, Womens Basketball, the first Coach to take 3 different teams to the Final Four!
This has been an amazing 3 day Academy. I have learned so much and am inspired from meeting so many Women College Coaches in different sports. From hearing testimonies from participants that helped me to not feel alone, to learning from guest speakers and board members that have poured into our cups and reminded us that this game needs Women Coaches in ALL SPORTS!
