[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Far fewer female former players are interested in getting involved in coaching soccer than males. A lot of male former players really want to stay in the sport and stay involved even if not playing competitively anymore.

Most female former players move onto other activities and other ways to spend their time when they finish playing. There are many exceptions of course, but as mentioned earlier this thins the numbers out in the entry level coaching courses by a LOT.

The C license is where things really get serious with the coaching courses. Very few females in them to begin with. Why? don't know, there are far fewer female coaches to begin with too.

Far more males participate in sports, and in soccer than females, and that trickles down to coaching. Coaching is very stressful, often a grind, at odd times of day, early weekends, holidays, when other people are taking vacations, and requires making personal sacrifices and financial sacrifices at times.

More males are willing to make these personal sacrifices than females. Why? don't know, but if more females were willing to make these sacrifices there would be more of them coaching. Every club and coaching staff out there would love to have more female coaches.[/quote]

This sounds familiar. There aren’t more women in the workplace because they don’t want to make sacrifices. Or in the military/board room/sports/science/medicine.

These same barriers existed in literally every male dominated area. Men used these same excuses to keep women out. [/quote]
