When having a female and male
coach there standpoints can be very opposing and they can take on different roles
when it comes to working with the same team. When there’s a male coach that is
coaching a female team he may take on a more sensitive role, Considering he is
working with teenage girls who maybe more sensitive so in different terms of
coaching by using tone, gesture, The male coach is technically fantastic, but
sometimes you have to check his pulse and make sure he is still breathing. He
is very stable, even keeled, and has a very dry sense of humor. He can hinder a
teenage temper tantrum without ever raising his voice and is very sensitive to
the girls’ needs. The female coach has a much tougher style that produces
results but often produces tears, too. She has a sensitive side, too, but she
is definitely considered to be the toughest coach in the gym. When else looking
at this people say that the women coaching a male team is unheard of because it
just doesn’t happen. If only they understood that as a coach we cannot speak to
our boys the same way we do our girls. They have different needs in order
to accomplish the same goal. But gender may play a double role here, because
the world of sports in general a male dominated, not only in relation to the
people involved (Fasting, K., & Pfister, G.
