Quote:A detail that you may be overlooking here in that "professional athlete" statement is that what we are talking about are mostly 20-somethings who have never really had to interact with a female on a football basis. Yes, they are professionals and are expected to act as such, but people fail to live up to expectations all the time.

 

Is she professionally prepared? I think so, but that doesn't mean that there won't be some resistance from her players in regards to them dealing with an unfamiliar situation.

 

If a player doesn't want to listen to her they will be disciplined accordingly.  They will have to go through the same kind of training that the rest of society has gone through.

 

It's not a matter of if they are able to deal listen to her and do what she says.....they have to, or there will be consequences.  If you start taking their cash for disrespecting a female coach, I bet they become more accepting.
