By Coaches' Wives For Coaches' Wives
In 2006, several coaches' wives began to talk about how much they would appreciate a safe, non-competitive, nurturing environment to connect with other coaches' wives at The Final Four. By 2007, a planning team was assembled and The Gathering was born. At the San Antonio Final Four in 2008, over 100 coaches' wives convened around tables to enjoy breakfast, get acquainted, and be encouraged, inspired and challenged by other coaches' wives. By 2018 in San Antonio, the attendance expanded to over 215... and we're hoping for more each year. Although the program, format and theme of The Gathering varies from year to year, it is always distinctly designed to touch hearts and change the lives of coaches' wives.
