Smell test fail. And 130 cyclists to the Worlds. But not enough $ for the coach?

This makes no sense to me since the CCA just fired @jensterew (national team coach) for budget reasons? canadiancyclist.com/dailynew…

BIG loss of an incredible athlete advocate and a brilliant mind. Many people will never know how much she advocated for so many athletes, but some of us know. @jensterew always supported and advocated for mental health support for her athletes. Huge loss.

The blame narrative placed on women coaches has lead to a culture in performance sport that believes women are not confident enough, they lack expertise and knowledge, they prefer to coach children, and are unable to cope with the demands of the profession

Diversity is important and awareness helps. Please take the time to read. A shoutout to the incredible female coaches who live microagressions everyday.

Kids complaining about it being dark at Speedweek like they never raced the backstretch at Walterboro.

Female coach expects this of her athletes- the athletes file a complaint and she is fired.
Male coach publicly spews profanities as he chastises and humiliates the very same group of athletes for not following these rules-he is adored by the athletes and promoted to her position

This continues TODAY. I know in one national sport organization they have selectively eliminated coaches and individuals from the IST over the last 5 years and counting when they raised concerns. 99% have been women. An inquiry would expose this. We need Sport to be cleaned up!!

Great coaches see your potential,help you access your strengths,bring their expertise, attend to your overall wellness, maximize outcomes with the resources they have, and value the “person” inside athlete while creating champions. @jensterew you are appreciated! @WomenandSportCA

Shout out to coaches like @jensterew who consistently supports the mental health and overall well-being of her athletes. We need more like her. She has identified and detected mental health challenges in many athletes and connected them with appropriate supports @WomenandSportCA
