Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport

#SheCanCoach®

In an effort to increase the number of females in the coaching profession and pipeline, the Tucker Center created the #SheCanCoach® project.

Many women who entered coaching were encouraged to try it by one of their coaches. It is that simple—ask and invite young women, especially current or former female athletes, to think about coaching. Your athletes have knowledge, experience, and passion for their sport and many want to be role models for other girls and women. Coaching is a meaningful way to blend passion and purpose. If she can play, #SheCanCoach®!

Our #SheCanCoach® posters were developed from our research. We interviewed women and mother-coaches on how to get more women involved in coaching. We used their responses to develop the #SheCanCoach® campaign.

Please download the #SheCanCoach® flier below, make a copy for each of your female athletes, and take five minutes to invite them to think about coaching. Your invitation matters!
