Check out this week’s 10 talks podcast episode to hear HOW WOMEN WIN with Erin Lindsey.

WINNING STRATEGIES
1. Expectations play a big role in how players perceive their coaches. Athletes will have gendered expectations based on whether they are male or female and respond differently based on these expectations. As coaches, it is important to know yourself and how you coach so you are able to tackle these expectation biases and be transparent in what you will give to your athletes rather than getting trapped in these stereotypes.
2. Without young women having a female coach as a role model, many female athletes may have the desire to be coached by men due to the stereotypes that exist of male coaches pushing them hard compared to females who stereotypically formulate relationships and show their care for their players. Not all coaches are like this - it is a stereotype - however, since these exist, it is important to find your own coaching philosophy, whether it falls into these stereotypes or not, so you can find the players that are a good fit for your program.
3. There are a lot of societal expectations for how each gender should act in a marital relationship. Some men may feel obligated to be the breadwinner of the family due to these norms, though it can assuredly be the women as well. If a female coach has a higher salary, it can bring up difficult conversations when it comes to moving or children. Additionally, being a female coach with children posits curiosity from administrators, whether it be simply on the stereotyped precedent that you are a woman or because they are trying to formulate a relationship with you and create open communication when seeking time for family.
