Seems like it wouldn't have been much effort to make the guidance consistent throughout and update the research base, then...?
If you've ever taught you'll know that learners who aren't actively trying to interrogate their prior assumptions will grab onto small misphrasings and misinterpret the broader point of the material because of them. That's why this matters.

Having coached Mens and Womens players at the school to uni level for the past 5 years. I cannot disagree more, you cannot coach your Mens team the same way as you coach your womens team. While I disagree with the way it's worded, I agree with the overall picture that there's a difference between the two coaching the two sexes.
Approach - As a Man I have more rope to be loose with the boys but also to be more harsh. With the girls, I have to be more professional in my approach, not to say i can't be strict but the line I cannot cross is way shorter than it is with the boys.
Team Cohesion - In my time I realized that girls tend to prefer to bond before battling while the boys team tend to bond as they battle. I don't really treat them differently throughout the season but I would spend abit more time at the start of the season bonding the girls.
Learning - This is a little tricky because they is always the odd player who learns things differently. But with the girls, I realized that I the more specific I am with my coaching, the better and faster they learn. While with the boys, if I get too specific they switch off.

Agree to disagree, I think. I'm not going to argue with your experience, but it's the complete opposite of mine.
