DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – It is becoming an all-too-familiar release, but Bethune-Cookman Director of Strength & Conditioning Corliss Fingers has received another honor from the NCAA. The North Carolina native has been accepted into the NCAA Women Coaches Academy.
 
Fingers, now in her third year at the helm of the BCU Strength & Conditioning program for all 17 varsity sports of the Maroon and Gold in Daytona Beach, received the notification just over a week ago from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
 
She has been selected to attend the NCAA's Women Coaches Academy (WCA) on a scholarship provided by the NCAA Office of Inclusion. Included in this scholarship is a free 1-year membership with the Alliance.
 
The WCA will take place at Hilton Denver Inverness in Englewood, Colorado.
 
The Women Coaches Academy (WCA), hosted in partnership between the Alliance of Women Coaches and the NCAA, is a 4-day educational training open to NCAA coaches of all experience levels that offers non-sport-specific program management strategies, with a special focus on philosophy development and building your skills and knowledge about planning, communication, legal issues, ethics, hiring, supervising staff, conflict resolution, learning styles and achieving success.
