The State of the Movement

In the season finale of Coaching While Black, Alecia and Armond take stock of where the healing-centered sport movement stands - and where it's headed. Sports-based youth development had its moment in the sun. Now, healing-centered sport and coaching are earning their place in the conversation, and the momentum is only building.

In this episode, two expert coaches reflect on what it means to show up not just as a practitioner, but as a movement builder - someone who sees the work as bigger than any one program or player. They explore what coalition leadership looks like in practice, and spotlight the real, on-the-ground progress coalitions across the country are making to create youth sports environments that are safer, more affirming, and more humane.
