LOGINHow clubs can support their coaching mothers
Being a coach and a parent can be a very tough juggling act. Four coaches who are also mothers discuss the help they would like to see offered...
’CLUBS SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE AND FLEXIBLE AS POSSIBLE’
"Prioritizing early scheduling in your club and program is a massive way to support female coaches that are pregnant, working to adopt or foster, and/or have children.
"There are several layers that go into organizing the time allotted for mom and child, both when they are together and separate. It helps working moms (and dads) to know when they will be expected at training, games, meetings, and more as early as possible.
"Then, when short notice changes occur, be as supportive and flexible as possible for her schedule and the needs of the child; do not hold it against her and make assumptions on her commitment level to the job."
