Coaching the female athlete
Part 1
I By Coach Cathy Benedetto
There is a difference between
coaching girls/women versus
boys/ men. Those differences
are both simple and direct as
well as complex and far
reaching. It can involve just one
individual girl’s attitude within
your team, or society’s attitude
on a national scale. These
differences must be talked
about, researched, recognized
and applied to your individual
coaching technique. To deny
they exist is not only asking for
problems but also admitting
your own ignorance.
I don’t have all the answers
to be sure. But in this issue of
Courtside I would like to share
w ith y ou som e o f my
observations based on years of
exp erien ce gained w hile
coaching girls and women, at
the high school, A AU, Small
and Large college levejs. My
ideas are in a constant state of
transition to meet the on going
changes in both society and the
world of sports.
M ost coaches w ant to

mandatory practices, presea
son conditioning programs,
and the understood dedication
required to be successful. Yet
some coaches struggle with hair
a p p o in tm e n ts th a t have
priority over practice and dates
with boy friends that interfere
with just about anything. Every
coach who has ever coached
girls has been faced with those
dilemmas. What to do?
It begins with your first team
m eeting, where you sell
yourself and your ideas to your
players. They must believe in
you if they are to believe in and
live by the rules of your
program. It also begins with a

beliefs, followed by a function
for the parents so they can meet
you and hopefully .give your
their full stamp of approval.
The parents are the heart of
your program. They vote on
school levies, serve on school
boards and control funding for
athletics, to ignore them is to
doom yourself to failure.
The next step is to provide

The final step regarding the
Sonics maybe a treat, but your
money would be better spent well-disciplined program is to
watching a quality women’s stand firm when you are
team. This allows your girls to 'challenged. Don’t back down
see women performing the from your beliefs. Maintain
tasks you are teaching, and your respect by following

young women can shoot jump discipline. You don’t have to
shots, hook shots, take the wield a hammer, doing as much
charge and rip rebounds, so damage as you are good, but
too, can girls. Take your team you do have to live up to your

them watch just how hard has to be done.
There are other problems

how disciplined and attentive, that plague the coaches of girls
how serious and committed. and women athletes. In the
