JAAF Begins Recruitment for Program to Develop Female Athletics Coaches
The Japan Association of Athletics Federations (JAAF) has begun recruiting participants for a new program titled "JAAF Coaching Clinic W (Double) – Produce Your Shining Self," aimed at increasing the number of female coaches. This program is designed to support women active in the sports world.
The target audience includes women who are already coaching athletics as well as those who are interested in taking on the challenge of coaching in the future. In this clinic, participants can learn not only technical coaching methods but also how to build their own professional careers.
Currently, the Japanese sports world faces the challenge of having a limited number of female coaches. Through this program, JAAF aims to create an environment where women can stand on the coaching frontlines with confidence. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet peers with similar goals and share their experiences.
Looking ahead to the event in fiscal year 2026, many women are expected to participate. For women interested in sports coaching, this will be a significant opportunity to expand their potential. Detailed application methods and other information can be found on the official JAAF website.
