Tennessean (premium): Meet the women of Vanderbilt football

Post by BrentVU »

Aria Gerson has a feature story about the females on Clark Lea's support staff...

Of the 23 football support staff members listed on Vanderbilt’s website, 10 are female. And that doesn’t include the training staff, which includes a female trainer as part of the football crew...

“This is about going out and finding the most talented, the most creative, the most energized, the most competitive people that we can find and not having blinders on as to the fact that that could come in a lot of different ways,” Lea told The Tennessean. “ … On a football team with upwards of 100 young men in the locker room, I think having a diverse experience and a diverse staff around them, diverse backgrounds, diverse perspectives, builds into the learning experience.”
