"I was introduced to Tom Newkirk through a mutual friend when I was going to a difficult time in my career. Tom's understanding of the obstacles we face in collegiate athletics as female coaches is unparalleled. It was eye opening to discuss my situation with him. It gave me important insight into the real issues I was facing. This allowed me to make my decisions with much more clarity and gave me a much better understanding of what my options were. Tom is passionate about exposing these biases and helping women fight the good fight. Without his guidance I have no doubt I would not be sitting in where I am now. He prepared me for all outcomes and made sure that I was prepared for whatever was thrown my way."
