Today’s female athlete has layers of past wounds that make up a protective emotional wall. There is a 50-percent chance she will come from a broken home, which alone provides its share of baggage. There also is the possibility that she has experienced abuse, either physical or verbal. Thus, it often takes more than just a friendly face for a young girl to open up and trust a coach.
WE want to see our coaches, professors authoritative figures...“as real, authentic, vulnerable people who are seeking to serve others out of their own brokenness, who don’t just value the product, but also the people and the relational process.”
