Sharon Clark,

Butler University Head Women’s Volleyball Coach and Current President of the American Volleyball Coach’s Association

In the coaching arena, men are usually compared to women no matter what the accomplishments are. Due to gender stereotypes and societal norms, men have more room to be more aggressive, assertive, or loud compared to women. When women act this way, it becomes more to do with their gender than it does their coaching abilities. Being able to recognize this within yourself and others will help to rid of bias and keep women in the coaching industry.

Do female athletes let male coaches say things

and/or coach in ways they won't let female coaches? Why?

"I feel like male coaches push more to be correct, and need to prove their masculinity by “mansplaning” things. And females are so used to putting up with it".

Is vulnerability a trait women expect of other women?

When is it a strength? When is it a weakness?

Is it essential for male coaches?

"I think women sometimes can expect other women to be vulnerable when being teammates. I think it's a strength when you can use your vulnerability in order to reach out for help to get better. I think it is essential for any coach male or female".

Do women lead differently than men?

If so, how and what do they do differently?

"I feel like women lead with you, and men lead you. I feel like male coaches don't like to get involved personally and stick to statistics and technicality. While female coaches want to get more personal and help you along the way".

What can male coaches learn from female coaches?

"I think male coaches can learn to try to understand their players and what they go through outside of sport".

What can male coaches learn from female coaches?

"I feel like personal connections and the importance of it".
