LaVoi, Ph.D., School of Kinesiology lecturer and director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport, presented data with Megan Kahn, executive director, WeCOACH, in a session on April 28 entitled “Changing the Landscape and Narrative About and For Women Coaches” at the 2019 NCAA Inclusion Forum in Atlanta, GA.

The session shared how WeCOACH has partnered with the Tucker Center to showcase powerful data on women in the coaching profession.
