The number of female soccer coaches is increasing, although there are still few studies that analyze the influence that the sex of the coach may have on his or her professional competencies and performance in terms of yields and achievements. The objective of this research was to determine and analyze the existing relationships between female soccer coaches with professional competencies and achievement orientations and to contrast it by means of an explanatory model of causal relationships. In addition, the effect of coaches' gender on professional performance was analyzed. A sample of 442 coaches trained in the Football Federation of the Community of Valencia (FFCV) during the 2022-23 academic year was used. A total of 90.3% were men and 9.7% were women. Statistical analyses showed the correct fit of the model in relation to sex and influence on professional performance. The model was able to explain 21% (R2=.21) of the results obtained regarding Professional Performance. In relation to the female subsample, the model was able to explain 59% (R2=.59) of the professional performance. The model showed that gender is a variable that directly affects many of the professional competencies of sport coaches, as well as goal orientation and professional performance focused on teaching and sport performance.
Keywords: Professional competence, goal orientation, professional performance, female sports coaches, gender-sex.
