  • A Seat at the Head of the Table for Female Coaches, with Dr. Cecile Reynaud

    A Seat at the Head of the Table for Female Coaches, with Dr. Cecile Reynaud
    May 30 2024

    At just 22 years old, Cecile Reynaud was thrust into being the Head Coach of Florida State University’s Women’s Volleyball program. As one of the top female coaches, Cecile recognized many women in the sports coaching world weren’t being taken as seriously as their male counterparts. So Cecile decided to do something about it. She’s now spent decades uplifting other female coaches across all sports.

    Dr. Cecile Reynaud's lifetime of achievement and ambition is currently being put to the test as the Vice President of Volleyball Operations for the Pro Volleyball Federation.

    Janice spoke to her just days before the Pro Volleyball Federation held its first ever national championship game.
