[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Not sure why you would make this generalization.  Have a DD and DS, and I remember having a conversation about this very topic with parents of both teams (at different times).  Didn’t hear one parent who preferred a male over a female coach.  Most preferred a good coach over a bad coach of course, but many actually expressed a desire for their DC to be coached by a female.  Asked my own children and they both said they would be fine with a female coach (daughter actually would prefer a female coach).

Did parents or players you spoke to give you a different vibe?

I highly doubt clubs have hiring preference for men over women.  I can only come to the conclusion that there are less females applying to be coaches.  [/quote]

In my experience, female players and their parents like the idea of a woman coach. But they are quick to criticize younger women coaches in particular, the same way your women are criticized in other work environments. (Too soft or too mean). There are a number of excellent female coaches in the area (DD plays for one now), but most did not come up through clubs.[/quote]
