I agree with you. So, the root cause is the lack of knowledge on the coach's part. Mary in her video wishes that if there were more women on Alberto's team, that would have helped. I don't see how. This is purely an issue about Alberto's incompetence, which you've just highlighted and I agree with that.
- scott_s 7y agoBased on the abuse she suffered, I think it's more than "lack of knowledge" and incompetence. But to the point of more women, it's easier to ignore the basic needs of one young girl, but much harder to ignore the basic needs of (say) half of your team. And if a large portion of the coaching staff are women, it's also more likely they will be aware of those basic needs.
- spectramax 7y agoThis is best observed and proven in medicine. There are men and women as gynecologists who fundamentally understand women's health. So, I don't see why this is a special case in Sports except for just the lack of competence and perhaps they were deluded, malicious or just fogged by their egos. This can happen to a womens team of coaches as well. I can totally see a group of competent, well educated and professional men teaching a young girl how to be the best at any sport.
- scott_s 7y agoIt's not a question of is it possible. It's question of what scenario makes it most likely.
