That is very weird. Surely the question is: has anywhere that has used this as its bible for coaching had a better retention of girls in sport? If not, junk it. That would be science, right?
Also the level of grift visible in these things is amazing. People with no understanding of science who make up the lyrics as they go along. But who then attack you when you question it: that “you sound as though you’re hurt by this” comment is a perfect passive-aggressive ad hominem which doesn’t actually deal with the question.
Coaching HER was just launched in April 2023 so data on its effectiveness is no doubt not in yet. Who knows if the Tucker Center and Nike will ever measure its effectiveness at retaining girls because of course that data is corrupted by the fact that they're defining a girl as anyone who identifies as a girl. Girls could actually be dropping out at a greater rate if boys who identify as girls become more numerous
No amount of illogical reasoning and excuses will EVER justify a male competing in female athletic competions.
Any male who 'identifies' HIS way into such a mismatched gender competition is simply cheating HIS way to rob a true female athlete from HER justly earned athletic talents and efforts.
A cheat is a thief... plain and simple. Sadly, such gender controversies are fueled by those who falsely claim to seek an equality that is an impossible equality.
I couldn’t read through all of that because I have a problem with high blood pressure. The whole Orwellian movement to deny biology is so ridiculous and so infuriating that I just cannot deal with it.
Why is it that insane people have so much influence nowadays?
To add to my comment, this is an anti-human movement to erase girls and women! And to call biology “ transphobic” is the height of stupidity! We are all biological beings, but these nuts couldn’t care less if we are all turned into robots!

Actually, I think that is their goal.
Pelton is at the forefront of killing fairness in sport and incentivizing girls to drop out.
But she is great at using words like "bias" to defend the work she has chosen to do.
What a wasted opportunity.
