The NCAA WCA is a program created for women coaches to improve their overall coaching effectiveness by studying advanced leadership techniques and methods that directly impact their individual and team performance. More than 2,100 graduates have taken part in it.
Participants concentrate on ideas that are not unique to any one activity in a setting that encourages inclusivity within the sports industry. Only open to WCA graduates, the NCAA Academy 2.0 is a small-class master’s program that builds on the leadership, tactics, and expertise they acquired during their WCA experience.
