It's finally spring sports season in Chicago and a great reminder of how impactful coaches can be in the lives of kids - especially girls!
"Training itself is powerful because it allows coaches to focus on their skills and philosophy," says @DePaulCSH faculty member Jocelyn Carter. @CHJSorg collaborated with @LittleLeague and @DePaulU to train coaches on supporting girls in sports: ow.ly/gwfW50RmsRE
