PSYCHOLOGY
As a personal trainer I have trained females for over 10 years and I probably like to train dedicated females the best as their potential for improvement and growth is off the scale!
Over my years of personal training, this is what I have found and see if any of these ring a bell:
- Females require more intensity with their training because as alluded to earlier they are already blessed with pretty good natural endurance
- Females love, love, love positive enforcement
- Women athletes require a lot of stability based work at the “core” to learn how to safely control the high forces that go their bodies during footy training and games
- Females almost always underestimate their strength and where it can get to
- Females might not do much free weight training simply because they just might not know how to
- Women athletes will tend to not increase training load until instructed to do so
- Females often train “too fast” so will need rest periods reinforced constantly
- More is not better, better is better
- Females don’t sweat as much
- Females will be more successful with multiple rep personal bests rather single rep (do 3 rep max over 1 rep max)
