The issue is that soccer coaching is as male-dominated as any profession there is, and even more so at the doc/TD level. As in other professions that have sought to address the same issue, the institutions within the field aren’t doing enough to attract, train, develop, and retain female coaches, they end up excluding a significant portion of the population of potentially strong coaches. There are effective leadership, management, teaching and coaching styles that are more prevalent among (but not exclusive to) women. While some male leaders in organizations are good at recognizing those effective approaches to the job, others aren’t. There are more than enough dinosaurs around, and it is great that some clubs are putting an emphasis on identifying and developing more female coaches.
