Chalk Talk – Episode 56 – Women In Weights – Round Table Discussion 

Feat. Molly Collins (FULL BIO), Emily Plucker (FULL BIO), and Jackie Wogan (MEET JACKIE VIDEO) 

The typical high school weight room has predominantly been made up of male athletes and coaches. However, times are changing, and more women are entering into the world of strength and conditioning as athletes and coaches than ever before. Molly Collins (PE Teacher, Sport Coach, Weights Teacher), Emily Plucker (Strength Coach), and Jackie Wogan (Director of Customer Success at PLT4M) have a round table discussion covering topics surrounding around women in weights – as coaches and athletes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
