Is coaching boys and girls different?
I’m putting together a presentation on “Differences Coaching Boys and Girls: The Facts and the Myths”. Given my position as the Associate Director in The Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport, without fail every time I give a coach or parent workshop, this question is raised– “What are the differences in coaching girls?”
I can’t summarize an entire hour presentation here, but I will tell you there are a set of evidence-based coaching behaviors every coach should employ regardless of the gender of the athlete. Here are a few of those strategies:
•Develop skills •Provide rationale for tasks & limits •Inquire about & acknowledge feelings •Allow as much choice as possible within limits
