Was It Something I Said? A Guide to Coaching Female Athletes

"Why is she crying?" Many times a coach has looked down the bench in the heat of a game and asked that question. This book is the answer to that question. It helps coaches understand and respect how females process and respond to information. Vanessa Sullivan, a Southern Connecticut State University graduate with a degree in Psychology, has played and coached enough to know what so many coaches don't, namely, that girls are different. Not weaker, just different.

The stories in this book will provide examples of how females process the feedback a coach gives, while advising the adjustment needed to effectively communicate with your athletes.
