Coaching Girl's Soccer

Having coached both girls and boys soccer, I can tell you from experience that there is definitely a big difference. Not in tactics, techniques or strategies, but in psychology. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind, especially if you coach co-ed teams.

• Enjoy the game. Soccer is one of the rare sports that is not specifically strength or size dominated. Kicking a ball is more an exercise of form and timing than power.
• Girls will often deeply consider things whereas boys will just take them at face value without a lot of analysis
• Watch out for emotional differences between boys and girls. Girls don't typically handle being yelled at very well, while boys will more bow up when yelled at.

• Intense Motivational Techniques work well
• Coach should focus on the individuals rather than the team.
• Encouragement is not always expected.
• More distance relationship between the coach and players
• Can handle longer more intense training sessions

• People oriented, democratic approach works best
• Coach should focus on the relationships among players
• Encouragement from the coach is a necessity
• More interaction between coach and players
