This virtual Leadership Academy is designed to empower and encourage BIPOC student-athletes to develop their own personal leadership skills and embrace their potential to be the architect of their own experience within the sport. The Academy will be facilitated by a diverse group of coaches to empower and encourage participants to recognize their own power and develop into strong leaders and role models on their teams, campuses, and in their communities. Additionally, the Academy will foster a sense of community and belonging among the participants and provide them with networking opportunities and interactions with current IWLCA coaches.
