Males coaching females Coaching | From Page 1 “My wife gets on the phone [with the athlete] and says ‘That’s why women get paid less than men, because you don’t set a value on your work.’ ” Myers said. “ ‘So you tell us how much we need to pay you and we’ll pay you that much money.’ ” Ray Gooden, women’s volleyball head coach, was 21 when he began coaching females at the collegiate level and said one of the challenges was to ensure he kept his attitude strictly professional because of the age difference. “I can’t hang with them,” Gooden said. “I can’t do the social thing with them because it’s not professional. And I was taught that, fortunately, at a very young age. The relationships of coach-player can be very deep, and that level of trust is tremendous, so you don’t want to challenge that by making choices that are going to jeopardize that.” Peer acceptance is a major factor on the women’s side, Gooden said. “Females don’t want to fail in front of their friends,” Gooden said. “Whereas a guy could care less. [Females] don’t want to be a failure to anything. Not only to themselves, but more importantly to their teammates and to others around that they feel they’re letting down.” John Ross, women’s soccer head coach, said he has coached both sexes at the younger and collegiate levels, but he said John Ross the differences Women’s soccer narrow be- Head Coach tween the sexes as they get older.

DeKALB | Men’s golf will continue its season this weekend as they make a short commute Sunday and Monday to the North Shore Country Club, 1340 Glenview Road, Glenview, for the Windon Memorial Classic. As one of the rotation courses for the Western Amateur Championship, North Shore Country Club sets up a difficult test for players at any level. “It’s a great Chicagoland golf course that will provide a great challenge to the players,” Head Coach Tom Porten said. North Shore Country Club was founded in 1900 and was designed by English architect Charles Allison. The course is known for its difficult, sloped greens, which has made ball placement a primary focus for the Huskies in preparation for this event.

opportunities for males professionally, Ross said. “If you look at it right now, women’s soccer is the most popular female sport, according to numbers that are playing it,” Ross said. “And if you look at the recent World Cup and Olympics, it’s the most watched. I think there has to be more [of an] emphasis on the opportunities that can be there for women’s soccer players.” Gooden said there is a level of care he does not always understand with female athletes, and the intangibles are most challenging when coaching women. Myers said setting pride aside and
keeping an open mind are two of the most powerful traits a male coach could have when coaching women. “I think as a male coach, it all boils down to dropping the act like you’re a machismo; you’re a jock; like everything’s tested by physicality,” Myers said. “I think you have to be capable to sit there if someone just broke up with their significant other to weed through that situation and be patient enough and understanding and not just take it as ‘Oh, girl problems’ because, no, it’s guy problems too. But a guy will probably go to their buddies before they go to their coach, and that’s just how it works.

“
The greens are very well protected by bunkers. You have to be very exact with your second shot and have good distance control.” Tom Porten Head Coach
An important point of emphasis during practice was to focus on ball positioning on the green, trying to set up uphill putts instead of difficult downhill putts. “The greens are very well protected by bunkers,” Porten said. “You have to be very exact with your second shot and have good distance control.” The field includes Mid-American Conference opponent Eastern Michigan University and several Big-10 schools: Indiana

The team is looking to bounce back from their last tournament at Wolf Run Golf Club, 601 S. County Road #900, Zionsville, Indiana, where the team finished 13th out of 14 competing schools. “[The course] had very demanding setup and difficult hole locations,” Porten said. “We have to get much more consistent off the tee and around the greens.” The Huskies’ roster for Sunday and Monday will consist of senior Charlie Cameron, sophomore Salvador Rocha, senior Raphael Denais, sophomore Paul Schlimm and senior Perrick Fillon. Senior Joo-Young Lee will look to return to action soon, as he remains under the NCAA’s concussion protocol.
