Girls are dropping out of sports at “alarming rates” upon hitting puberty, and Nike CEO Donahoe believes the key to reversing that trend is increasing the number of female coaches. According to Aspen Institute’s Project Play, nearly 75% of youth coaches are men, and even when women are offered the opportunity to coach, they worry they won’t be good enough to take on such a position because of, as CNBC’s Balasaygun and Goldberg put it, the “sexist stereotypes society often promotes.” Youth Sport Trust CEO Oliver explains there are physical and psychological barriers that keep girls from participating in sports after reaching puberty, including low body confidence and pressure to conform to identities defined by their peers or adults. Balasaygun and Goldberg note that “female coaches are not just important in terms of giving young girls a positive role model – they also offer a safe space to discuss and process the difficulties that can come with a young woman’s changing body and mind.” Vegas Vipers (XFL) AC Welter, who is believed to have been the first female AC in the NFL, adds: “If you started to feel uncomfortable as a female athlete…it’d be pretty tough to go to a male coach about some of those things.” Consequently, Nike is “trying to train 20,000 female coaches, moms and other former athletes to be coaches to promote youth,” per Donahoe, who adds the company aims to achieve 50% girl participation in the sport-based community programs it supports by 2025.
