"Nice Snatch! A phrase that I hope I would never utter to a female athlete but one that would be shouted in praise of a male with an outstanding lift. This example also serves to illustrate maybe the greatest difference in how I coach men & women. This question of differences in training males vs. females comes up frequently but to be honest it’s one that rarely crosses my mind. I have thought about and have what I feel is a decent answer as this question is a favorite of hiring committees when interviewing potential strength & conditioning coaches for intercollegiate sports."
