Alysia, too, was inspired to start her organization after hearing from her colleagues in the sporting sector.
“Conversations with my peers in sports– including coaches, athletes, sports psychologists, nutritionists, physical therapists, and more who are also mothers– brought to light that child care is not accessible in the way in which the sporting industry needed it to be,” Alysia said.
“Our work is not an occupation that can be done from home.”
This first “pilot program” will begin with track & field, with plans to expand to other sports in the future.
Qualifying female athletes can apply for a grant of ten thousand dollars for “necessary child care resources around training and competing” until July 12, 2022.
