I certainly think women tend to listen more and spend more time getting to know their charges as people. The more you know your player as a person, the easier it is to find the right way to communicate with them.

Of course, there are lots of great male coaches out there but there are many who are “It’s my way or the highway”. They’re not really interested in listening to what the player has to say. It’s just a case of “I’m the boss and this is how it should be”.

‎But there’s always two sides to everything and if you listen, you’re more likely to make a suggestion that actually fits the player you’re working with.

I saw one report that mentioned the possible “stigma” of a woman coaching a man. There shouldn’t be any at all. It’s a bold move but I think it’s a very good move. And it raises awareness.
