I feel incredibly proud and grateful to have completed this transformative 21 months journey. I\u2019ve been equipped with knowledge and leadership skills that have reshaped how I approach coaching.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has given me the courage to keep dreaming, being brave and resilient. The WISH programme has provided me with tools, mentorship, and networks required to excel in high-performance environments,\u201d said Omuriwe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) women\u2019s team head coach noted that the WISH programme has given her the belief that women can excel in male-dominated fields such as coaching in sports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has also been a personal journey of growth. I feel more confident, braver and prepared to continue to contribute to volleyball here in Uganda and beyond. It has further strengthened my belief that we as female coaches and women in sports have an essential role to play in shaping elite sport. While the field might be still male-dominated, we\u2019ve been equipped to continue to break barriers, inspire others and confidently take on leadership roles in our various sports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very rigorous programme that required me to balance my responsibilities as a coach, wife and a mother. I had to spend an extended period away from my family. I\u2019m grateful to my family, Uganda Volleyball Federation, Uganda National Olympic Committee, FIVB and Olympic Solidarity for their unwavering support that helped me to pursue this course to completion,\u201d said Omuriwe, who is also a FIVB Instructor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-136628\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d-580x387.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d-860x573.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d-500x333.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/d.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Iran\u2019s Maedeh Borhani Esfahani at the University of Hertfordshire, UK as part of the WISH Programme.
