## Resource

Four women are leading four different NWSL teams this season. But are the league and its clubs doing enough to empower women to obtain those positions? Hosts Jillian Sakovits and Meg Linehan talk to Seattle Reign’s Laura Harvey , Bay FC’s Emma Coates and San Diego Wave’s Becki Tweed to discuss the hiring trends in the NWSL and whether the issues are unique to the United States. The guests also share their perspective on the women who have mentored and supported them and propose improvements to increase the share of female coaches. ______________ HOSTS: Jillian Sakovits, Meg Linehan GUESTS: Laura Harvey, Emma Coates, Becki Tweed This podcast was produced by The Athletic. ______________ Get in touch:  ⁠⁠fulltime@theathletic.com⁠⁠ Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to our Youtube channel: here Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ Visit the Yahoo Women's Sports hub ⁠⁠here Hosted on Acast.
