Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The profession of athletic training has opened its doors to women who now slightly outnumber men in the profession. Unfortunately this representation does not carry over into positions of high rank. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the lived experiences of female head athletic trainers in NCAA Division I IA football institutions to focus on the issues of barriers to advancement and their ability to overcome them. Using Hakims preference theory as a lens, this interpretive qualitative investigation utilized semi structured open ended interviews to learn how participants advanced in the field of athletic training to the position of head athletic trainer. The study identified family division of labor and the discrimination from the old boys club found in other studies. However it also showed low aspiration as equally strong a barrier to advancement and demonstrated how low aspiration then affects the intentionality of ones career path. The participants identified three reasons for their low aspiration. First an aversion to working in football a traditional role for many head athletic trainers second an overall dislike of the duties of head athletic trainer and third a stated reluctance to be in a leadership position. Unique to this study was the identification of personal attributes which balanced the barriers and aided the women in the advancement. All expressed a strong work ethic they received and internalized encouragement from others and finally they saw a challenge and an opportunity for personal and professional growth in the head athletic trainer position. In most cases, they began to see the position as something other than traditional, and one they could change and improve. This revisioning of the position played an integral part in their willingness to advance. Missing from the support these athletic training leaders identified was active professional mentoring. They did not benefit from formal or informal career advancement advice from supervisors or peers. With low aspirations, low intentionality, and no career mentoring, these female head athletic trainers highlight the strong need for active preparation for advancement in the profession for both men and women.
Download or read book Female Athletic Trainers Working with Male Division I Teams written by Michele Hudgins and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite representing half of all certified athletic trainers in the United States, females tend to not staff male teams at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I level. To date, there has not been much research on female athletic trainers (ATs), especially in positions such as head athletic trainer of a Division I school or at the professional level. Rather, the few studies that have been conducted have focused on the work-life conflict female ATs face and its relationship to higher attrition rates from the profession. The current study extended the examination of female ATs by exploring the experiences of female athletic trainers who currently staff or have previously staffed (within the past 5 years) male Division I teams through the lens of hegemonic masculinity. Findings suggest that gender stereotypes and sex roles, various levels and types of support, and mentors/role models influenced participant experiences. These findings suggest possible causes of higher attrition rates for women than men in the athletic training field besides work-family conflict and suggest a new avenue of research to be explored further.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research (Drummond, Hostetter, Laguna, Gillentine & Del Rossi, 2007) concluded that male and female athletes feel more comfortable with treatment by a same gender athletic trainer for gender-specific injuries and illnesses. This study investigated male athletes, specifically football players, and their comfort level with male and female athletic trainers for gender and non-gender specific injuries and illnesses. This study used an existing methodology and survey (Drummond et al.) to determine male athletes comfort level. An open-ended question was used to determine male football players’ perceptions of female athletic trainers. Results indicated that male football players are more comfortable with treatment by a male athletic trainer for gender-specific injuries and illnesses. Interestingly, males were more comfortable with treatment by female athletic trainers for psychological conditions, and were equally comfortable for injuries and illnesses to other parts of the body. Qualitative data revealed male football playersâ€TM attitudes and perceptions are generally equal for male and female athletic trainers in the athletic training room. Discussion is provided on these results.

Download or read book Out of Bounds written by Lori Latrice Martin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays highlights the controversies surrounding racism in sports and African American athletes, examining the racial discrimination that exists in one of the most public arenas in the 21st century. Despite increasing diversity in the American population, race and racial bias continue to be significant issues in the United States. Sports—one of the most visible and important subsets of American culture—directly reflect our society's beliefs about race. This book examines racial controversy and conflict in various sports in the United States in both previous eras as well as the current "Age of Obama." The essays in the work explain how racial ideologies are created and recreated in all areas of public life, including the world of sports. The authors address a wide range of sports, including ones where racial minorities are in the numerical minority, such as hockey. Specific topics covered include the devaluation of black athletes, racism in Major League Baseball, and the treatment of black female athletes.
Download or read book Every Day We Have the Opportunity to Make a Difference written by Susannah Kaye Knust and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to sport psychology literature, care is an important part of the coach-athlete relationship (e.g., Jowett & Poczwardowski, 2007; LaVoi, 2004; Poczwardowski, 1997; Wylleman, 2000). However, a systematic study of "exemplar" caring coaches is lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to interview 12 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I head female coaches of female teams who were identified by others as "exemplar" carers. A semi-structured interview guide was developed using a modified version of Gilligan and colleagues' (1989) Listening Guide. An adaptation of Hatch's (2002) political analysis was used to identify major themes found in the transcribed interviews. Results suggest that four major themes (a) Team as "Family"; (b) Holistic Care of Student-Athletes; (c) Development of the Self-as-Coach; and (d) Institutional Care were found in the data. While coaches described relationships with and responsibilities for athletes and assistant coaches like a traditional, heterosexual family (e.g., coaches serve as "transitional parents"; athletes serve in the roles of children), relationships with university administrators and the NCAA were typically perceived as hierarchical and also complex. For these coaches, it was important to have in place caring coaching philosophies and behaviors that affected not only the short-term well-being and development of their athletes (e.g., make sure that athletes felt "heard" and "known," help them reach their full potential both on and off the court, use "tough love" when necessary) but also their long-term well-being. Coaches measured their success based on the interactions they had with their athletes after graduation. Female identity development models (e.g., Layton, 1998) and feminist models of care (e.g., Noddings, 2005) are linked to sport in the discussion too. Further, suggestions are made for how to foster a caring environment in NCAA Division I sport.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of this study was to explore the career experiences of female athletic trainers at the NCAA Division III setting. The study examined: (a) the effect (if any) of the participant's sex on their work experience, (b) common obstacles females faced in their career, (c) the relationship women had with other women in the profession, and (d) the appeal (if any) of the NCAA Division III setting. The participants consisted of 22 female certified athletic trainers employed in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III setting. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants from March to May 2008, and interviews were analyzed with the use of open and axial coding. The findings were organized into three major themes: (a) a need for balance between professional and personal lives, (b) working in a male-dominated profession, and (c) relationships with other female athletic trainers. Results also included trainers' general satisfaction with the Division III level of opportunity, and mixed desires and barriers to working at a higher level in colleges or at the professional level.
