Candace Parker co-chairs Women’s Leadership Council to address coaching gaps

Candace Parker was appointed co-chair of the new Women’s Leadership Council launched by Sport Beach on June 9. The initiative aims to address ongoing gaps in coaching opportunities for women in sports. Despite growth in women’s sports viewership, coaching roles remain predominantly male, particularly in the WNBA, where only seven of 15 head coaches are women. Parker and council members emphasize the importance of creating pathways for women to enter and advance in coaching and leadership positions, ensuring equal opportunities across genders.
