Wisconsin Track Coaches Association

Hello Ladies, 

First - if you are not a lady or would like to be removed from this email list, please let me know by replying to this email with a simple "please remove me". 

Second - I wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you that came to the W4W lunch session during the clinic. A few things I promised I would send out:

• WISTCA women4women website - check it out!!

• The Ted Talk that I discussed - Your Body Language Shapes who you are (Fake it until you are it). Well worth the watch - pass it on! It is not silly - great stuff!

• A handful of us got to share the things we do at practice & meets that can set the tone of the environment. For example, this fall I started the habit of saying each athletes first name at practice - WHAT an IMPACT that makes! Share your ideas HERE - I will post them on the website!

• The University of MN has a women's coaching symposium coming up in April - I can't wait for it! Anyone else interested? Check it out HERE!

Interview of the WEEK!

Kelly McNiff is the Assistant Coach for the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Women’s Basketball Team.

Kelly is in her 16th year of coaching having been an assistant in both basketball and softball at local high schools and since being head hunted for a role as assistant alongside Brad Fischer, the current Head Coach, she now works at Collegiate level athletics.

We asked Kelly about her day to day coaching, how she manages to accomplish the much needed work-life balance of a coach and how she thinks the current US Political climate is affecting women in sports.
