USTFCCCA Female Coaching Mentorship Program Begins Third Year In 2020

NEW ORLEANS – The USTFCCCA Female Coaching Mentorship Program (FCMP) is set to begin its third year in the fall of 2020 and is now accepting applications!

Started in 2018 by a trio of accomplished female coaches – Rhonda Riley, Angelina Ramos and Janine Kuestner – the program is designed to increase the representation, depth of knowledge and advancement of female coaches in the field of cross country and track & field coaching at every level, as well as create accessibility within the industry.

The program aims to support climate change as well as depth of female coaching experience through pairing individuals up with 1:1 year-round mentorship with a senior coach and adhering to set guidelines for successful consultations with esteemed leaders of the sport from a variety of backgrounds.
