@IKam m Having coached women's clinics and attended alpine, nordic, snowmobile and MTB clinics of both varieties, I think it depends. It depends on the participant, the sport, and each group.
I love women specific mountain bike and alpine clinics as I feel more supported to ask clarifying questions. For nordic and snowmobiling, I actually preferred mixed.
Often times in the alpine skiing multi daily camps that cater to advanced skiers it seems that we develop trust and then introduce hard challenges for women specific camps while some of the mixed camps we almost have to show to the participants by providing hard challenges right away that they can benefit from coaching.
Trying to not come off as biased but women seem more receptive to the humbling learning process surrounded by other women while men often need to show their bravado.
