    Coaches Some unusual coaching concerns

    Coaches Coaching young boys competitive gymnastics.

    It seems that coaching young boys is quite a challenge for coaches....Not only are there so few boys in comparison to girls, but there are so many different ways that they learn the skills, personalities, etc. I am sure that coaching girls is just as difficult, but it seems boys are harder...
