Ep. 110 - Don't Call Me Sweetie

Do you ever feel less respected as a female athlete compared to
the male athletes? So many times in the past, male coaches have
greeted me with a “hey sweetie” or “honey.” I’ll be completely
honest with you, that has rubbed me the wrong way. Those dainty,
feminine words trigger insecurity and smallness that roots from a
fear of not being worthy of working a job in a male-dominated
area.


 


In times like these, I look to the scripture and find where Paul
encouraged Timothy to not let people look down on him because he
was young, but instead, be a believer and represent with your
life. What I realized was that I had to own up to my
insecurities. Once I did that, I learned how to resolve these
situations with maturity and now I’m paving the way for female
coaches that will come after me.
