The Academy for Sport Leadership Visits The White House (Project)

The White House Project, a national nonprofit organization that offers training and education to women interested in running for political office, has given The Academy for Sport Leadership, an endorsement. Or at least, a vote of confidence in our good work. In the midwest edition of its monthly enewsletter and blog, The White House Project profiles the mission and programs of The Academy.

We think the White House Project's mission is very much like our own. It is a "governing GPS" program. The White House Project provides maps, guidance and direction for women whose goal is to blaze new trails in politics as local, state and national legislators and officials.

The Academy for Sport Leadership runs programs that offer "game plans," playbooks and guidance to young women whose goal is to succeed in the coaching profession.

We appreciate and are honored to have received the opportunity to talk with The White House Project about increasing the number of young women in coaching. And we enthusiastically support The White House Project programs to increase the number of women in political office.

We predict that it won't be too long before the photos commemorating the White House visits of NCAA championship teams will include a 'V for victory' hand-signing Madame President standing alongside a smiling female head coach.
