Listen "Qualification Myth"
Episode Synopsis
We're kicking off Season 3 of Coaching While Black with a powerful conversation on the real barriers Black coaches face—especially in the NFL. In this episode, hosts Anthony Andino and Alecia Ivery break down the "qualification myth" and how Black coaches are often held to higher standards while being given fewer opportunities. From personal experiences to systemic challenges, we explore why Black coaches must constantly prove themselves, the role of representation and what it takes to create real change in hiring and retention. Plus, we discuss the importance of patience—Black coaches need time to build programs, not just token opportunities. Tune in to hear how we can move beyond performative policies and towards a more equitable future in coaching. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
