At TAC Dev level we had multiple training sessions from "sports psychology" experts that told us kids no longer respond to the old ways, the abusive coach, they just switch off to people they perceive as a bully.
Lods you will know better than myself, but I believe they are taught as much at school in how to deal with and identify bullies and bullying, and the same learnings apply to a ranting football coach!
Which always surprises me when I think about Donald "Dunderhead" Trump being elected, Trump, Putin and Bolsonaro are almost bully archetypes!
Anytime you make a blanket statement about 'kids' or any other group, ir will not apply to everyone in it.
The 'old ways' will still work on some, but probably not as much as it would in the past.
As always, a 'horses for courses' approach works best.
But yes, kids today do learn about that stuff in school and its much better managed than why you or I went through the system.
