I recently had an opportunity to interview several female weightlifting coaches at various levels of their craft. As a coach myself, I was interested in delving into their history both as a lifter and a coach, their mentors and/or education and if they felt that being female in a male-dominated sport had hindered them as coaches in any way. I was pleased to find out that all of these women have experienced little to no gender discrimination (with one glaring exception) and all are thriving in the sport even though all of their mentors were men.
