WECAN Overcome Women's Sports Coaching Challenges With Kathy Taylor

In today's episode, we uncover women's sports coaching challenges with Kathy Taylor, a Retired Collegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coach & Former IWLCA President. Katchy opens up about the evolving landscape of modern sports coaching and gender-based challenges. Named the head coach of Colgate women's lacrosse program in June 2019, during her tenure in Hamilton, she led the development of eight All-Patriot League honorees, along with a pair of Academic All-League selections and numerous IWLCA academic recognitions. After a celebrated 30-year career and her time at Colgate University, Kathy’s journey took a traumatic turn during the pandemic. She opens up about her personal experience facing unfounded allegations, the importance of due process, and why protecting our coaches is essential to the future of women’s sports. Colgate University ultimately moved to dismiss the final lawsuit against her, validating that the claims were unfounded. We’re navigating an era where anonymous complaints and public scrutiny can threaten the integrity of a lifelong career. Kathy's story is a masterclass in speaking your truth, true leadership, setting high standards, and fostering supportive environments where everyone, from athletes to coaches, and especially women in sports, can thrive. What is one boundary you’ve set that helped you maintain your integrity as a coach or leader? Let us know in the comments. We thank Kathy and honour her, her journey, and love nothing more than to support her truth.Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathy-taylor-311b28318/ Learn more about Kathy's journey: https://colgateathletics.com/sports/womens-lacrosse/roster/coaches/kathy-taylor/2392 #WECAN #Coaching #Leadership #WomensSports #Lacrosse #CoachLife #SportsCulture #Resilience #IntegrityInSports #KathyTaylor _______________________________________________________________________ For any questions or inquiries regarding this video, please reach out to us @Wecan.Shecan 🔔 Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the Notification Bell for more interviews with role models! 👉 Connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wecan.shecan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shecan-world/ Substack: https://shecan.substack.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0MAiuylxS5AhxCSQcm8cax?si=003fe73047cd465cYour Story Matters!
