Female Coaches Deserve a Chance Too

Where are all the female coaches at?! I can honestly say that I have never once as a competitive athlete had a female coach or administrator. The only female coach I ever had was when I was six years old and started playing recreational soccer. Although I have always been aware that the majority of my coaches were male, I had not stopped to consider the fact that most coaches are male and that I had not seen many females in coaching or administrative positions in the sport industry. I think this is incredibly sad and the worst part is that most people still don’t realize how uncommon it is for a female coach to be given the opportunity for success.
