"Should I coach girls differently than boys?" That is a question often heard in the private conversations between coaches. Coaching has survived a period in which that question, regardless of its legitimacy, would have instigated ridicule. The mere implication that there might be different methods for coaching the two genders was characterized as an assault on all females.
I think as the number of athletic opportunities for females increased, the louder the question has become. It is not being asked to identify either gender as less competitive than the other, but by dedicated coaches who sincerely desire to use the best methods to prepare female athletes.
