USA Today did several articles.

Quote:
“When he started to play sports himself, all of a sudden I understood better that these people are giving their daughters to me,” McGraw says. “I’ve got to make sure I’m building them up. I learned a lot about how to coach from watching his games.”



Quote:
“For me, I never had reservations, because I saw my mom and Coach McGraw do both,” Ivey says. “They are my role models. Some people hide their passion and turn down opportunities because they’re scared you can’t do both well. But coaching is my calling.”



Quote:
“I never felt like I was specifically or intentionally choosing my career over family,” Gottlieb says. “Because all the young women I’ve coached, they have been my family. I never felt like something was missing. I never felt like, ‘Oh I have this great job but nothing else.’

“Being a mother hasn’t filled a void — it’s added something I could never even have imagined.”
