The film follows WIS’s own Tracy Hamm in her quest to earn the prestigious UEFA-A license.

Tracy’s remarkable story shines a light on how some rules are written in ways that keep women from reaching the upper echelons of power.

It also shows that when given the opportunity to break through those barriers, women like Tracy kick ass.

About the film: Coach follows Tracy Hamm in her quest to earn the internationally renowned UEFA A coaching license. Tracy turned to Europe after her efforts to pursue a top license from U.S. Soccer were obstructed by requirements that candidates seeking waivers to bypass lower certification levels must have played three years of professional soccer. When she graduated from college in 2006, no professional women’s league existed in the United States.
