INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to your first step in understanding the female athlete! We have composed several must-know facts about the female athlete and how to tackle the most difficult situations in being a coach.

The idea to create this book came from pure observation of coaches in action. As athletes, we have experienced different coaching methods, watched coaches interact with their athletes, and worked with parents coaching their daughters. The culmination of both good and bad coaching inspired us to create a blog to guide coaches in effectively teaching their athletes in a positive, influential matter; www.coachingafemaleathlete.com.

With the success and positive feedback from our blog readers, we have created this book in hopes to answer the most frequently-asked questions regarding the female athlete.

Our goal is to provide an outlet to coaches across the nation to better their coaching skills, understand the female athletes’ emotions and behavior, and learn how to teach on a deeper level.

We appreciate your interest in our book and hope you gain a better understanding of your female athlete!

Happy Reading!

Keri Casas and Kelly Jackson
