Why are so many women leaving coaching? What if the problem isn't the women leaving? What if the problem is the system they are leaving behind? In this first episode, Digit Murphy and Tom Newkirk begin an honest conversation about the realities facing women coaches across sports today. For many women, coaching can feel isolating. When opportunities disappear, careers stall, complaints surface, or burnout sets in, many women are left wondering: "Was it me?" This conversation explores a different possibility. What if women coaches have been carrying challenges that are rarely discussed, often misunderstood, and frequently faced alone? From hockey to basketball, soccer to softball, women coaches often share similar experiences: • isolation • burnout • lack of mentorship • different expectations • hidden pressures • shrinking leadership opportunities Most importantly, they often believe they are the only ones experiencing it. In this episode, Digit and Tom discuss: • Why women are leaving coaching • The shrinking pipeline of women leaders • The hidden work many women coaches carry • Why mentorship and community matter • The importance of women coaching women • Why female leadership representation matters • Building stronger pathways into coaching • Turning awareness into action This is not a complaint session. It is the beginning of a conversation—and ultimately a movement—to connect women coaches across sports, strengthen the pipeline, create community, and help women thrive in leadership. If you are a current coach, former coach, athletic director, athlete, parent, administrator, or advocate for women in sports, we invite you to join the conversation. Because the goal isn't simply to talk about the problem. The goal is to build something better.

Why don't we see more women coaching men? In this clip from Aren't You Tired - Women In Coaching Tom Newkirk challenges one of the most deeply rooted assumptions in sports: that coaching men is still viewed as a male role. What would happen if more women applied for men's coaching positions? Would it change how we think about leadership, coaching, and opportunity? Watch and join the conversation. If you're a coach, athlete, parent, or athletic director, we'd love to hear your perspective.

Are women in coaching held to different standards than men? Drop a 💥 if you've ever felt this way or seen it firsthand. All the added pressure and expectations often come from the source itself — societal biases. From students to admins, everyone seems to hold different standards based on gender, and women must navigate through that. Why does this bias persist even today? Maybe it’s time we start calling it out and shifting the narrative. Would love to hear your experience or thoughts below. #WomenInSports #GenderBias #BreakTheBias #EqualityInCoaching
