The Wisconsin Coaching Project aims to develop exceptional coaches throughout Wisconsin and beyond. At youth, high school, college, and professional levels, coaches have powerful impacts throughout our state. The Wisconsin Coaching Project supports these coaches, aiming to help cultivate highly-skilled, positive educators and leaders.
One of our strategies for developing coaches is to connect aspiring leaders with the groundbreaking Master's in Sports Leadership degree program at UW-Madison. Learn more and apply here.
In addition to bridging leaders to the MSL program, we are documenting and spreading the story of those who have impacted the field. The Sport and the Growing Good (SGG) podcast tells the stories of exceptional coaches, documenting their everyday practices, their foundational principles, and the lessons they’ve learned.
