The Tucker Center, an interdisciplinary research center in the School of Kinesiology, has released a new documentary, “Game On: Women Can Coach.” While there has been an explosion of girls and women participating in athletics since Title IX, only about 40% of them are coached by women. The film, co-produced by Twin Cities Public Television and the Tucker Center, explores supporting research, dispels false narratives, celebrates female coaching pioneers at all levels of competition and highlights stories of success and hardship. Their stories are the universal stories of women coaches who fight many battles to pursue their passion to coach.
