The Names You Should Know Spotlight

Nancy Cubit
President, AFCWA

WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW HER.

Nancy Cubit, born in Philadelphia, is wife of 28 years to Stanford University quarterbacks coach Bill Cubit, mother of three and the President of American Football Coaches Wives Association for 2004.

Formed in 1989 by Patti Edwards, Ellie Mallory, Donell Teaff, Dorothy Faye McClendon, Carol James and Janice Walden, the AFCWA is a national organization that works in conjunction with the American Football Coaches Association. Wives of these great competitors have come together in an effort to support and serve in their own communities and across the country. Whether it is the NFL, NCAA, NAIA or countless junior college and high school football programs around the country - these ladies share a common bond that brings them all together.

The AFCWA currently has over 500 members, which will meet January 4-7 in Orlando, Fla., for its annual convention held simultaneously with the AFCA convention each year.

Between supporting Stanford University and Western Michigan University, where her son Ryan is a freshman quarterback, Nancy Cubit can be found at www.AFCWA.org encouraging coaches wives at all levels.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING:

"Camaraderie, service and support is the main goal of the AFCWA. There are so many people out there that have no clue as to what kind of hurdles coaches' families are faced with. They think football coaches work only of Friday nights of Saturday and Sunday afternoons and that's it. It is just really a unique experience to meet new people that understand the ups and downs of the business. The AFCWA is for wives of coaches at all levels." - Nancy Cubit
