“As a younger coach, I was told that all good female sprint coaches coached like men. And that I should model myself after these women and male coaches.
That never resonated with me and never sat right with my spirit.
Creating an environment for women to develop and succeed at the highest level beyond the sport is something that has always been important. I’ve made 2 Olympic Teams, 3 World Championship Teams, coached NCAA medalists, and coached International Championship medalists and World Championship qualifiers.
It’s time to recognize that women are different and we need a space where we are empowered to use our difference to motivate, educate and inspire other women and coaches.”
