Join us on today’s episode as Carlette and Kathy discuss How Women Win after hearing from Auburn University Head Women’s Golf Coach, Melissa Luellen
WINNING STRATEGIES
1. The relatability aspect has been emphasized throughout many of our conversations with women coaches and athletes. Having a relationship with your coach or athlete is important to many females within the sports industry, whereas with men, it is more transactional. “Women must bond to battle, and men must battle to bond” -Kathleen DeBoer. If men are presented with a secure opportunity to get better at their craft, they will invest what they need in order to get to where they want to be. On the other hand, women are more thorough with who they work with and are less transactional in these relationships.
2. Athletes will demand authenticity from us. After recruiting an athlete, as women, we cannot succeed without being authentic to our athletes. Though in a way it is still transactional - the athlete came to you to be a better player and to win, and you as their coach promised that to them - the authenticity component is still important to make that relationship work. Without it, cohesion may be lacking, and the relationship will not flourish.
3. There has been a huge transformation within the coaching industry when it comes to gender. Many female coaches nowadays even prefer coaching other women, which is perfectly okay. Similarly, with male coaches, it has become more normal and accepted for them to coach female athletes compared to the past.
