A Coach’s Guide to LGBTQ+ Inclusion

February 21, 2019

“I felt like I couldn’t be gay and a coach.”

This week we chat with David Thibodeau, a swim coach and former Coach NB intern, about his experience as a gay man in sport and how you as a coach can create a more inclusive atmosphere for LGBTQ+ athletes and coaches in your program.
