Message: [QUOTE="Rowdy831, post: 4604364, member: 12516"] I have coached a lot of very successful players (all female) and I can tell you that some need hand holding, some need encouragement, some need tough love and some just need directions to the gym. The best thing another coach told me was when you yell at a boy they hear I need to do better, when you yell at a girl she hears you hate me. As a male coach and father I also didn't want any of our girls to think a man yelling at them was okay, normal or even acceptable. We had high expectations, we were nationally recognized and had a lot of success. I am not a legend like Geno but I think the most difficult part of coaching young people is learning how to communicate with them and of course dealing with parents expectations and treatment of their own kids.
