Absolutely. Years ago, the most successful ever volleyball coach in Italy, Julio velasco, after having won absolutely everything and more at club and national team level, decided to try it out in women volleyball, out of curiosity. After a few frustrating (mis)adventures there, but not before showing his usual commitment and long time dedication, he gave up, took time off, travelled, then incredibly became successful in another men’s sport (can’t remember whether it was basketball of football), then wrote a book (as well as of course giving many talks and interviews essentially on “how to win”); and he wrote and spoke at length about the differences he found between male and female volleyball players, saying women volleyballers ultimately (let me simplify here for the sake of brevity) lacked the deeper levels of resilience, self sacrifice, competitiveness, mental ferociousness that male players have (more of). He told stories of how his female players complained more, used victimhood dinamics more, had less patience with “staying with the pain”, BELIEVED less in the need to win, displayed more of an appreciation of the social and communicative element of the sport rather than seeing it also as a “matter of life and death”, etc etc.
