ABOUT WeCOACH 
Founded in 2011, WeCOACH is a one-of-a-kind 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to recruiting,  advancing, and retaining women coaches in all sports and levels through year-round professional  growth & leadership development programs. Prior to Title IX, over 90% of women’s collegiate  sports teams were coached by women. Today, over 50 years later, the data indicates that  number has decreased to 41% across all three NCAA Divisions, with only 7% women head  coaches of color. Only 5% women coach men's teams. At the youth level, the data is hard to  estimate, approximately less than 20% of teams are coached by women. WeCOACH launched  MOVE the NUMBERS in 2022 to help change the landscape for women coaches and the  student-athletes they lead. If she can see her, she can be her.
