Transcending Sport: Maria Stuber, Women Ski Coaches Association

Maria Stuber has recently founded the Women Ski Coaches Association, which is a grassroots organization that gives women ski coaches a voice.  The WSCA goals are to develop, retain and advance women in ski coaching leadership.  It already has over 90 members and has unanimous support from women head coaches and program directors in US cross-country skiing. Maria is the Head Men’s and Women’s Ski Coach at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN.  She leads the largest ski team of any division in the NCAA, serves as president of the Central Collegiate Ski Association (CCSA) conference, and is an assistant coach to the men’s and women’s cross-country running teams. So she has a unique perspective on the gender inequality among ski coaches. As Maria explains while the organization was founded in the cross country ski discipline discussions are already underway with other areas of ski coaching such as alpine and ski jumping to represent all ski disciplines.
