Number of female coaches in women's sports shrinks to all-time low

OK, ladies. It's time for us to step up and take some action. We can't just sit here and read something like this without doing something about it. Sitting around thinking Wow. That really sucks.. isn't going to sway the numbers. We need women like you and me to get out there are change it!

L.A. Times article: Number of female coaches in women's sports shrinks to all-time low

The article was a little long or I would have included the whole thing...

How can we help? It starts with coaching rec teams. Coach your church team, your YMCA team, or even a neighborhood team. Set the foundation. When you're more confident, coach a middle school team. I have a friend who does that and she loves it. Finally, when you're older and more experienced, coach a club team or a high school team. I have a friend who coaches 2 club teams and a high school team. All of those kids are being exposed to something they may not be used to. Eventually you'll be coaching a collegiate team.

Personally, I know I never had a female coach other than my mother for any sport I ever played. As a female, being coached by men doesn't work as well. Men and women, especially little girls, don't think the same way. A man may think that one thing would work, while the woman's logic would tell her to do it differently. It's just not right.

Let's get out there and make a difference!
