Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3215103, member: 250"] This morning I happened upon a brief video of Anson Dorrance (22 Nat'l Championships for women's soccer) talking about the differences in coaching men and women and what he says there seems like stereotypical thinking, but his women have 22 Natties. It is also sounding like the exact opposite of Geno Auriemma's coaching philosophy. Dorrance says you have to build women up and negative feedback gets in the way. Women are different. Geno pretty much rejects that: "the worst center in the game" etc etc etc. This I find fascinating. Is there any reconciling these coaching philosophies? Is it something in the nature of the sports involved, or the players attracted to each, to explain how such seemingly opposite coaching systems are both screamingly successful? I know some of you coach at some level and would really appreciate reactions to this seeming mystery. Anyway, have a listen to Dorrance: [MEDIA=youtube]QY8uB2cQVV4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
