A Celebrator of Women in Coaching
The #SheCanCoach campaign is a celebrator of Women in Coaching achievements, an advocate for Women in Coaching initiatives, programs, and structural changes, a connector of interested coaches-to-be with where to start, and a public voice exclaiming #SheCanCoach!
Changing the Game – Changing the Conversation is a program to recruit new female coaches and change public perceptions about who can coach. A dedicated public campaign, #SheCanCoach, launched February 1st, 2018
and features produced video content, website, and social engagement.
The #SheCanCoach campaign features video shorts, a dedicated website, and a social media engagement to encourage more action to be taken at every level of sport to support women in coaching.
Campaign Highlights
We Believe #SheCanCoach!
The campaign will highlight:
The lack of women in coaching and sport leadership (only 30% of coaches in Canada are women)
The need for more women in coaching
The benefits of balanced sport leadership (Males and Females on the bench)
That women can and do make great coaches!
