LILBURN, Ga. – Senior guard Bryce Owens has been selected for the Women’s Basketball Coach Association (WBCA) “So You Want To Be A Coach” program that will take place in April.
The WBCA’s “So You Want To Be A Coach” program is a collaborative effort between the WBCA and the NCAA to provide female student-athletes with an experience that becomes the foundation of a successful coaching career.
The WBCA has assembled a group of experienced coaches and administrators who will serve as resources to share their knowledge, as well as provide them with networking opportunities which will help in securing a coaching position after graduation.
Owens will participate in the program that will be held April 1 through April 3 during the WBCA National Convention in Indianapolis, Ind.
“So” participants will learn about recruiting, the administrative side to coaching, how to get hired, skill development, the importance of knowing the rules, and how to balance work and life.
Qualified candidates must have exhausted their final year of basketball eligibility at a four-year institution or have graduated within the past year. In addition, the candidate’s head coach has to nominate them and must be an active WBCA member. Each participant is selected based on her academics, contributions to women’s basketball on and off the court, professional resume and a written recommendation from their head coach.
