I've coached a bunch of boys basketball, rec, travel, AAU, even helped out with High School.
I've helped my wife out just a little with our daughter's team. I'm probably going to take over that role from her next year, my wife has had her fill of dealing with parent issues. They will be 8th graders playing on a town travel team.
I know the athleticism will be different. I expect the girls to be more attentive listeners. I know boys are generally better at creating their own shots.
For anyone who has coached girls, what are the major differences between coaching girls vs boys? Different ways to motivate them? Different learning styles? Basketball specific or just generally about coaching girls, I'm all ears (and a little scared).
