Both boys and girls manage to bravely play through common pains, the jammed fingers, slide-scraped thighs, and bruises from being hit by a pitch that are a part of baseball and softball. However, the girls feel forgotten unless there are constant inquiries about the injury. If boys are reminded of the pain, the aches hurt more. However, both boys and girls are proud of scrapes that ooze. When coaching boys you almost need a 2 x 4 to get their attention.
Young boys tend to be oblivious to anything.
By contrast, girls are hurt unless every critique is phrased as positive encouragement. A batting order for girls is a measure of social status. Boys need to be constantly reminded where they are in the order. A boy will never apologize to his entire team in public for not hitting well. I was surprised when a young lady did just that this year.
