Yeah there might be a difference, I have no clue. My take was large based on my own experience with having the occasional girl in my team as a kid, and up until about 12 they could keep up. The girls that played in coed teams were usually also much better players than the girls that just played in girls teams.

Absolutely not disputing your anecdotal experience, nor that it is beneficial to the women in coeds. I thought I'd chip in with some added information cos frankly the point made in Outliers is a fantastic example of the power of compounding growth. Saying I was calling BS was just a banter-y way of opening.
