Book excerpt: "The general problem of this study was to compare perceptions of the coach in the ideal coach/athlete relationship, as expressed by collegiate female basketball players and their coaches. Further analysis was completed comparing: (1) freshmen and seniors' perceptions, (2) the coaches' years of coaching experience and its effect upon the coaches' perceptions, and (3) perceptions of participants in the National Collegiate Athletic Association compared to those in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Institutions from Idaho, Oregon, and Washington which had four year intercollegiate womens' basketball programs were considered for participation. Participants included 107 athletes and 30 coaches. Perceptions were measured by the administration of a questionnaire using the Semantic Differential Technique. Data were analyzed for statistically significant differences by the use of a "t'' test. Statistically significant differences were found concerning coaches' and athletes' perceptions of the coach in the ideal coach/athlete relationship. Findings and conclusions were discussed along with reconmendations for future studies concerning the coach/athlete relationship"--Document.

Download or read book Perceptions of Female Basketball Players of Color Regarding Their Athletic Coaches Impact on Their Academic Success written by Marisol Cruz Meléndez-Ostrov (Ed.D. candidate at the University of Hartford) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological interview study was to develop a deeper understanding of the perceptions of female basketball players of color regarding their head coaches' and assistant coaches' influence on their academic success. The conceptual framework that guided this investigation was Comeaux and Harrison's (2011) model of student athlete academic success. Findings from this study indicated that all 12 research participants believed it was important for coaches to have an impact on the academic success of their student athletes. However, regarding head coaches, they verbalized that this relationship only existed for a chosen few players. Far more often, assistant coaches played an important role in the players' academic development. Strategies identified by the participants to improve these relationships with head coaches included seeing the players as students first and athletes second, fostering a culture of academic success for all, applying group problem solving dynamics and requiring diversity training for coaches and athletic departments. Participants reported several challenges to developing relationships with their coaches that can enhance student athletes' academic success. These challenges included knowing who their players really are, including their strengths and weaknesses not just on the court, but in the classroom. This research also identified the need to improve the connection and cohesiveness among the players on the team to further foster a culture of academic success. Future research opportunities include exploring the perceptions of former male basketball players of color, and conducting a study comparing the perceptions of White former female basketball players as compared to those of former, female, basketball players of color. Where implemented, the recommendations identified in the current study about cultivating an environment of academic success should be further evaluated to determine their effectiveness.

This book is a valuable resource for instructors, researchers, scholars, theorists, and graduate students in communication studies and social psychology.

Download or read book The Active Female written by Jacalyn J. Robert-McComb and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-27 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in a revised and expanded third edition, the aims of The Active Female are threefold: first, to increase the awareness of wellness and fitness issues for active females and their family members; second, to provide an avenue for medical practitioners, allied health professionals, health educators/providers, and certified individuals in sports medicine/athletics to gain critical, updated knowledge of a field specific to active females; and third, to introduce the concept of obesity as a growing health concern even for normal weight individuals. Part I of the book offers a foundation for understanding the interrelationships between female physiology, body image and other psychological issues, the female reproductive cycle, and the musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology of females that makes their health risks and concerns unique. In Part II, the concepts of eating disorders from a global perspective and the health disparities and inequities in women’s health are discussed in detail. Part III describes the prevention and management of common musculoskeletal injuries in active females across the lifespan, including the management of osteoporosis. Appropriate exercise and nutritional guidelines and recommendations for active females are discussed in detail in Parts IV and V. Part VI is a new addition to the book and highlights the obesity epidemic and co-morbid diseases associated with obesity even for normal weight obese individuals. Each chapter is bookended by clear learning objectives and review questions for additional pedagogical appeal. An invaluable addition to the literature, The Active Female: Health Issues throughout the Lifespan, 3e will be of great interest to all clinicians and allied health care professionals concerned with women’s health and related issues, from sports medicine and family practitioners to endocrinologists, gynecologists and orthopedic surgeons.

Book excerpt: Off the court, however, players described a stronger perception of expectations for how they should look and behave. Players described experiencing regular questions and assumptions about their gender identity (i.e. female, male, trans*) and / or sexual orientation (i.e. bisexual, gay, heterosexual, queer) when wearing loose fitting basketball sweats during the day. While players rarely thought about conforming to a gender identity or role on the court, they did describe frustrations with an imbalance of media coverage between men's and women's athletics. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations for higher education practice include (1) providing training and educational opportunities for student-athletes, coaches, and administrators focused on gender socialization and subsequent perceptions of student-athletes (2) developing mentoring programs pairing new recruits with veteran players to help acclimate new student-athletes to the demands of the NCAA season, and to explore the impact of traditional gender norm expectations on student-athletes and (3) developing mass media or social media campaigns to help encourage positive recruiting practices in women's basketball and to discourage recruiters focusing on the gender identity or sexual orientation of players and coaches on other teams as a means of lowering interest in those programs.
