WeCOACH

What WeCOACH does

WeCOACH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 2011 and headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida. The organization is dedicated exclusively to recruiting, advancing, and retaining women coaches across all sports and at every competitive level — youth, high school, collegiate, and institutional — addressing the documented decline of women in collegiate coaching from over 90% prior to Title IX in 1972 to 41% today. WeCOACH delivers year-round professional development, mentorship, networking, and career services through a portfolio of branded programs including WeMENTOR (mentorship), WeAMPLIFY (content and media), WeCONNECT (networking), WeELEVATE (career elevation), WeINVEST (financial literacy), and WeASPIRE TO COACH (aspiring coach support). Its flagship training offerings include the NCAA Women Coaches Academy (in partnership with the NCAA since 2003), NCAA Academy 2.0 (added 2019), the Youth & High School Women Coaches Academy, the Divisions II & III Development Program, Regional Workshops, Video Chats, and the WeREAD Book Club; the About Time Podcast is co-produced with Hudl.

The technology stack is conventional and operationally focused rather than product-led: a web-based membership platform at wecoachsports.org, a Neon CRM constituent management system for membership administration and donations, and standard online delivery for virtual academies, video chats, book clubs, and financial literacy sessions. The most differentiated asset is the longitudinal research output: the annual Women in College Coaching Report Card, produced with the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport since 2012, which provides the only ongoing dataset of its kind tracking women in collegiate coaching across all NCAA divisions.

WeCOACH generates revenue through four streams: (1) annual membership subscriptions priced from $60 (youth/high school/club) to $100 (collegiate) to $200 (high school group) to $1,500 (institutional/campus-wide); (2) tax-deductible individual and organizational donations, including Donor Advised Fund grants, planned gifts, and stock donations; (3) event and program fees for academy registrations and regional workshops, with scholarships available for coaches with financial need; and (4) corporate partnerships organized into Mission, Champion, Community, and Collaborating Partner tiers. Go-to-market is community-led: members are acquired through word-of-mouth within the coaching community, partnerships with athletic departments and institutions, and outreach via the Job Center and Coaching Candidate Pool service that connects women coaches with athletic directors and search committees. Vanessa Fuchs serves as CEO.
