Consider this:
Is it better for a boys team to always have a male coach? Is it better that a girls team have a male or female coach? I agree with futbol that boys are more individualistic and technical, also usually more self-centered, selfish, etc. They look to be the individual star, rather than putting the team first, as girls generally do. Then you add a male coach (who also is usually individualistic) who has to control the boys attitudes, nurture their capacities to learn and grow as a player, and make them perform as a team. On the other hand, a girls team puts communication and team play before anything else.
They are more amenable to learn technical play, strategy, and team skills than are the boys. Within the past 10 yrs in Cola. club soccer, the best male coaches have always been with the boys teams. Had those same top coaches been assigned to girls teams, I venture to say that girls club teams in the midlands would have achieved significant success on the field, probably more than the boys have.
Conversely, the head coach of one the top boys club teams nationally is female:
