She replied to me "I'm not your sweetheart", and gave me a disgusted look. I've never said that again since. Never.
I once had a female coach tell me that referring to her players as "ladies" was sexist. :confused:

I prefer to go with; "shooter", "thrower", "#_____", "ladies" or "gentlemen". I think it's good to be especially careful when referring to female players
