"Women don't trust woman coaches" is the sexist assumption, and OP is asking WHY they don't. To OP, this is self-evident.

To you, the supposed "sexist" motive is apparently self-evident. An assumption. How are you going to prove the OP's motive?

The premise may be unproven, but neither is it disproven, and nothing is known about OP's motive. Spamming up the thread with fallacies helps nothing.

Certainly the world has far more male coaches, despite decades of development in women's sports. No motive is needed to observe that, or to speculate about the reasons.

In the title he's not asking why there aren't more female coaches. He's asking why women don't trust women.

I did not ask why women don’t trust women, I said why don’t women trust women coaches . It is in the title, and there is a difference .

Politically incorrect but real reason: a woman coach couldn't be tough enough to push the athletes. No woman coach would do what Alsal did, they would rather field Mary donuts and make excuses.

It's a cliché but probably with truth in it: The most brutal martinet coaches are/were (Eastern European, Russian, Chinese) females in gymnastics or figure skating. Or in ballet

"Women" are brutal to other "women", generally. Pretty much every "woman I've ever known" has "friends" who are "women" that no self respecting man would ever associate with [they rejected me and now I am bitter].

Like you know any women ;)

As I pointed out in a corresponding thread that offended the mods - why do women athletes trust male coaches, when the likelihood of harassment and sexual abuse rises exponentially? Ask Simone Biles.

But the question posed in this toxic thread is that the likely male OP thinks he knows for a fact that "women athletes don't trust women coaches". Really? Based on what? There are thousands of women's athletes in the US. What have they said to show they don't trust coaches of the same gender? And "trust" in what way? That they are going to be defrauded, or sexually abused - or just be poorly advised? What exactly - and demonstrated how? This site never fails to disappoint in its combination of ignorance and prejudice.

Also this thread is bollocks, the women on this forum should make a new forum. I actually prefer women leadership (I am a woman) but I have a male coach. There are a greater number of male coaches because "back in the good ol days" it is and still is a male dominated industry. My coach has been coaching for years and has a great resume and I have a good relationship with him. Now, I would love a female coach and in general I love female leadership as I feel I can see myself in them. I just have not gone through much trouble seeking that out because my coach and I are working well together. I think it is really just the nature that there are more male than female coaches but please don't make assumptions on women-kind's behalf. You look silly.

Women compete with each other and by that I'm not talking about sports. Psychologically. So they would rather not be bossed around by a woman because the subordinate would feel inferior and they'd be uncomfortable about it. But they're comfortable being bossed around by a man. That's a also why a man in position of power is automatically elevated by women and attracts women.

Another man who thinks he knows how women think.

The actual answer to the question of "why aren't there more elite female coaches?" is the same answer as to why their aren't as many women CEOs. Something like 50% of women leave the workforce for an extended period of time to raise children, meanwhile their male counterparts are climbing the career ladder. When someone makes an individual decision based on the candidates in front of them, the most experienced person is likely to be a man. When these decisions are viewed in aggregate a massive gender disparity appears. Many like to call this clear sexism, when in reality sexism is only a small factor in the multivariable equation.

The responses to this thread are also overly biased towards the incel mindset since that's majority of posters left on Letsrun unfortunately.

I would trust a woman coach

Don't be so dense

How the hell is this dogsh!t thread still up?

Same for me -- would prefer to work with a woman coach (and for Alison over at Fast Women to start a forum of her own!) but had trouble finding one.

It certainly would help this site to hire women journalists and women moderators. Might just be what the doctor ordered to clean a lot of this garbage up.

Nope. What would help is to point out who the women are that women are currently trusting to coach them, and results these programs are producing.

long enough for you to go ont goggle and find some proof that it's incorrect?

I find the op's question reasonable enough. For someone looking for female coaches it might be worth looking up Gin Miller's channel on youtube. Her video on step aerobics, Intense Moves, for example is worth noticing. Also you might consider Cathe. For example her video Plyo Hiit one and two. Also a basketball coach, Andrea Hudy, has a good plyo dvd. Though I know it is twisting the point of the thread slightly, I find it impossible to believe that Gin Miller isn't as important as Richard Simmons.

This post is sexist.

It should read ' Why don't athletes (LGTBS,etc..) trust women coaches?' I find it offensive that you leave men and others out of the mix.

I'd like to know what OP meant by "women"

Heh. I've seen a few female SEC basketball coaches in action. They would make AlSal puke donuts and dive into the mess for loose balls.
