Value of same-sex coaches extends beyond the court, says UWin student

Feb 5th, 2018

Taylor Imeson wants to see more women in head coaching positions.

"I had always noticed that women's sports were growing, but there were barely any female coaches," says Imeson.

"Participants felt they had the necessary skills and self-efficacy to coach, however, due to various reasons, a majority did not identify coaching as a career aspiration."
