This book was released on 2018 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education (The United States Department of Justice, n.d.). Although Title IX was enacted over 45 years ago, college athletic departments remain non-compliant with the law (U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, 2016; Women's Law Project, 2014), suggesting a need for research regarding barriers to compliance. A central piece in the Title IX enforcement mechanism is engagement on the part of constituencies who are affected by the law. In effect, the accountability mechanism to ensure Title IX compliance rests with those who are educated about its requirements. Within athletic departments, those constituencies include coaches, administrators, staff members, and athletes. This paper provides an overview of the literature that documents knowledge deficiencies among those constituencies (Staurowsky & Weight, 2013; Weight & Staurowsky, 2014; Staurowsky, Zonder, & Reimer, 2017) as well as the lack of Title IX compliance, proportionality gaps, and ongoing litigations among Division II institutions (U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, 2012, 2014, 2015a, 2016; Women's Law Project, 2014, 2017). The purpose of this non-experimental, quantitative, cross-sectional survey research was to examine the levels of knowledge and perceptions among Division II athletic administrators, staff, and coaches regarding Title IX standards at their institution. More specifically, this study sought to gain a more in-depth understanding of overall knowledge and perceptions among Division II participants, as well as, determine if any differences existed between the respondents based on gender, position, and team coached. This study found that, on average, participants' knowledge ranged from 0 to 6 with a mean of 3.04 (SD = 1.64). In addition, this study revealed that the main effect of position was statistically significant; (F(2, 124)=6.99, p.001), while the main effect of gender on knowledge, and the interaction effect between position and gender on knowledge were not statistically significant (p.05). Further, it was discovered that the main effect for coach by team gender was not statistically different between groups (p>.05). Regarding perceptions, participants' perceptions were similar when looking at Overall Perceptions, Opportunities for Participation & Scholarship, Benefits and Services, Awareness and Understanding. This study found the main effect of gender and the interaction effect between position and gender was not statistically significant (p.05) for all categories. In comparison, this research discovered the main effect of position was statistically significant for overall perceptions (F(2, 124)=3.290, p.05); benefits and services (F(2, 124)=4.111, p

This book was released on 2012 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in perceptions about institutional policies, procedures, and educational programming in regard to eating disorders between athletic directors and student-athletes participating in selected sports at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II (DII) designated institutions. This study will make a valuable contribution to the body of literature since there is no published research addressing this concern from the perspective of athletic directors. For the purpose of this study, a population study was conducted with athletic directors. Also, a random sample of six NCAA DII institutions was generated to obtain access to student-athletes as subjects that were representative of athletes participating on sports teams at DII colleges and universities. The time frame for the data collection process was conducted between the fall and winter of 2010-2011. The data collection protocol followed the Dillman Tailored Method (DTM; 2000). A four-page, 24-item instrument was developed and administered to athletic directors. In addition, a four page, 23-item instrument was developed and administered to student-athletes. Out of 10 hypotheses, eight statistically significant findings were revealed. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference between eating disorder formal education, educational opportunities, knowledge, and respondent status: student-athlete or athletic director. In addition, the results revealed a statistically significant difference between athletic department eating disorder rules and regulations, referral process, prevention, support, influential individuals, and respondent status. Future research is needed to determine what intervention and evidence-based practices are best to help address these statistically significant differences and respondent status.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a quantitative approach, the researcher investigated the attitudes of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III (D3) men’s (n = 69) and women’s (n = 53) sports student-athletes (SAs). This study aimed to examine the current attitudes of male, female, and non-binary NCAA D3 SAs towards male, female, and non-binary strength and conditioning coaches (SCCs). Attitudes were assessed for 121 participants via a 12- question modified Attitudes of Athletes Toward Male versus Female Coaches Questionnaire (AAMFC-Q; Magnusen & Rhea, 2009) consisting of Likert-scaled questions ranking feelings towards a described, gendered SCC. The researcher determined there to be no significant interactions between gendered sport and condition, suggesting that previously noted SCC gender preferences no longer prevail in D3 athletics. However, via main effects significant differences between gendered sport was noted when participants were prompted with considering how they would feel about the hypothetical coach’s ability to motivate and encourage them. Additionally, significant differences between conditions were noted in items examining the participants’ ability to take punishment from the hypothetical coach and, when directly asked if they preferred the gender of the described coach. The findings of the present study are pertinent to practitioners and administrators working with SCCs and SAs of varying gender identities. Professionals involved in the strength and conditioning training of D3 student-athletes can use the results of the current study to inform hiring decisions, when educating staff and athletes, and to better understand the athletes' feelings towards SCCs. Additionally, involved personnel should consider this evidence of the prevailing existence of hegemonic masculinity in athletics and evaluate how they may work to dissuade the continuance of such.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The researcher examined the perceptions fall sport coaches at NCAA Division III institutions in the Northeast region of the United States (N = 449) had toward current and desired evaluations. Gender, sport types, and years of coaching experience with regard to the importance of coaching responsibilities, the number of times a coach is evaluated, and satisfaction levels were explored. No significant difference (p ~ .05) was found between the actual and desired ratings of the importance of the coaching responsibilities in 5 of the 14 responsibilities. According to coaches, the other 9 coaching responsibilities should be significantly (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States President Richard Nixon signed Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act into law in 1972. Since 1972, Title IX on college campuses has legally mandated access for both sexes to all academic offerings and expanded athletics offerings for women; most recently, Title IX protection has expanded to include sexual misconduct. While the scope of Title IX is broad, the purpose of this research was to study NCAA Division III student athletes’ perceptions of Title IX generating useful understandings to guide key stakeholder’s future decisions. Previously conducted Title IX research focused primarily on NCAA Division I institutions and I could find no study from the lens of student athletes. The lack of empirical evidence quantifying student athletes’ perceptions of Title IX as well as no study primary focusing on Title IX at NCAA Division III campuses are problematic when evaluating Title IX effectiveness. This research surveyed NCAA Division III student athletes in Wisconsin focusing on possible differences in Title IX perceptions between the sexes, student athletes participating on higher- verses lower-expense sports, and among all years of participation. Pierre Bourdieu’s social reproduction theory served as the theoretical lens for examination of the quantitative results to the primary research questions.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Job performance evaluation has been acknowledged as a challenging, but necessary process in a variety of professional fields. The purpose of this study was to rank criteria used by NCAA Division III Athletic directors to evaluate their head coaches. Research questions sought to discover the most and least important criteria, if the prioritized criteria were in line with the NCAA Division III philosophy, and finally if any differences exist between the way conferences rank their criteria. A rank order questionnaire was used to study how the criteria factors, linked by a common purpose of evaluating a head coach, rated against each other. Ten primary criteria were extracted from research and used in this survey. Athletic administrators (N=62, n-22) from six Midwestern NCAA Division III conferences were asked to participate in this survey. The most important criteria for evaluating a head coach was skill level in building student athlete relationships (2.9), closely followed by a coach's skill level in recruiting student athletes (3.0). On the contrary, a coach's skill level in public relations (8.5), was the least important amongst all ten criteria. Collectively, criteria associated with student athletes were reviewed as more important than criteria without association. This suggests the NCAA Division III philosophy directs the criteria selection and prioritization for athletic administrators. Slight differences were present in the way conferences ranked the criteria. This study could lead to more in depth research regarding coaching job performance evaluation, other governances of college athletics or sample populations of universities"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract:The current study was designed to determine if differences in opinion existed among student-athletes (SAs) at five NCAA Division III (DIII) institutions with (n 250), and five institutions without (n = 235) a drug-testing program, regarding the deterrent value of institutional drug testing. The opinions of DIll Directors of Athletics (ADs; n = 10) were also examined. Differences were examined using the Student-Athlete Drug-Testing Questionnaire and the Athletic Director Drug-Testing Questionnaire, and analyzed using chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests. SAs and ADs were surveyed about: (a) institutional testing, (b) current NCAA DIII Championship testing, and (c) hypothetical NCAA DIII year-round testing. ADs responded similarly to questions about the three testing programs. SAs responded similarly to questions about the deterrent value (personally) of the three testing programs, while drug-testing SAs responded significantly higher than non drug-testing SAs when asked about their peers. Practical support was found for the use of drug testing as a deterrent to steroid use. As ADs and the NCAA consider increased drug testing in DIII, more research is needed to evaluate the strength of testing as a deterrent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Athletic Organizational Structure-The span of control, or the ratio of supervisors to subordinates, is a vital aspect to how an organization operates (Chelladurai, 2001; Galbraith, 1995). The present researcher examined NCAA DIII athletics departments (N = 445) with regard to the number of personnel categorized by success level based on post-season performance, as measured by the United States Sports Academy Directors' Cup rankings. Furthermore, the researcher utilized the Athletics Department Organizational DNA Questionnaire (Appendix D) to gain the athletics directors' opinions of departmental shape, communication flow, primary roles and reporting lines. Significant differences (p .05) were found for the number of administrators, number of head coaches positions, number of actual head coaches, and number of coaches to teams ratios among levels of success. No significant differences (p .05) were found among the levels of success within the people ratio, which is administrators to coaches, or within the dual role category, which is administrators who also serve as head coaches. No significant differences (p > .05) were found among levels of success with regards to responses (N = 130) to the Athletics Department Organizational DNA Questionnaire.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study examined the perceptions of leadership style of Division III head basketball coaches and whether it had an effect on the perceived cohesion of the team. The relationships of leadership and cohesion with both success and satisfaction were also explored. In addition, this study also examined variables such as gender and player status (starters or non-starters) to determine if they had an effect on leadership and cohesion. A combination of convenience and random sampling was used to select potential participants for the study. After receiving the agreement to participate, packets containing a questionnaire for each athlete and head coach, as well as an explanation of the study and instructions, were mailed to the teams. Fourteen of the 21 teams returned their questionnaires, with 13 coach and 145 athlete questionnaires being usable. Athlete questionnaires consisted of 35 items from the Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS), examining four behaviors of leadership: Training and Instruction, Social Support, Democratic Behavior, and Positive Feedback. Also on the athlete questionnaire were 18 items from the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), which measure four dimensions of cohesion: Attraction to Group - Task, Attraction to Group - Social, Group Integration - Task, and Group Integration - Social. One item for measuring overall satisfaction was included, as well as nine demographic items. Coach questionnaires included only the 35 leadership items and seven demographic items. Results showed a significant relationship between leadership and cohesion, specifically between Training and Instruction behaviors and three of the four cohesion dimensions (Attraction to Group - Task, Group Integration - Task, Group Integration - Social). Other noteworthy findings included the significant relationships found between leadership and success, leadership and satisfaction, cohesion and success, and cohesion and satisfaction. Also, there was a significant difference in perceived cohesion between starters and non-starters; no significant difference in perceive leadership behavior was found between these groups. There was a significant difference between genders on leadership behaviors, with men rating each behavior higher. No significant difference was found between genders on cohesion. A discussion of the results includes practical implications for collegiate coaches and athletes and recommendations for future research.
