Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Context: Female athletic trainers are making great strides in a previously male-dominated profession and are also becoming more prevalent in working with male sports teams. Female athletic trainers working within male sports often face gender bias and discrimination which has been found to come from male coaches of these sports. While previous studies have shown male coaches may demonstrate practices of gender bias towards female athletic trainers working in male sports, no studies have focused directly on the male coach and female athletic trainer relationship. Purpose: To examine the experiences and perceptions of female athletic trainers currently working with male coaches in male sports in the NCAA and examine the male coach-female athletic trainer relationship from the point of view of the athletic trainer. Design: Qualitative research utilizing a multiple case study design. Methods: Six collegiate female athletic trainers were interviewed using a semi-structured interview format via Zoom. Participants were asked questions that aimed to gain information regarding female athletic trainers’ experiences and perceptions of working with male coaches in male sports and information about the interactions between the two parties. Interview transcripts were coded and analyzed by the research committee. Results: Four themes emerged from participant responses which included the background of the female athletic trainer, advantages of working with male coaches in male sports, challenges faced and navigation of challenges, and factors for success in current role and relationship. Conclusions: Overall, participants described having a good relationship with their male coaches and numerous factors were identified as playing a role in that relationship. This study revealed how one’s background and prior relationships and experiences can shape current ones, and identified different advantages and challenges present for female athletic trainers working with a male coach in a male sport. Advantages included having a differing view from one another, as well as acts of chivalry, and male coaches having higher standards and being taken more seriously. Challenges faced included gender, age, and experience. Furthermore, participants offered valuable insights of how to tackle those challenges and provided factors for success within their roles and relationships with male coaches in male sports.

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.

Book excerpt: Although Title IX helped to shape athletics in educational settings, the legislation also transformed the world of coaching. Due to the growing demand for competitive female athletics at the collegiate level, the need for qualified individuals to coach women's sports continues to grow. As colleges and universities continue to create women's athletic opportunities, coaching collegiate female teams has become equally competitive to coaching male athletes in terms of pay, benefits, compensation packages, and national attention (Welch & Sigelman, 2007). Despite the fact that 57% (Pilon, 2015), of female collegiate athletic teams are coached by male coaches, there is a gap in the literature regarding this population. Informed by the social ideology theory (Sartore & Cunningham, 2007), the purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of male coaches that coach female athletes. Specifically: (RQ1) why do male coaches coach female athletes, and (RQ2) how male coaches handle social and physical boundaries while working with female athletes? Semi-structured interviews revealed six major themes that extensively influence male coaches of female sports: majority, if not all, of coaching experience at a high level is with women's athletics, high levels of satisfaction, opportunities for growth and development, physical and social distance, language, and the development of relationships and trust. This study serves as a contribution to the limited data pertaining to male coaches working with female athletes. The results of this study will help stakeholders to better understand the experiences of this very specific, unexplored population.
Download or read book Male and Female Athletes Perceptions of Their Coaches Communication written by Leanna Hartsough and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores social exchange theory in relationships between college coaches and athletes. There are positive and negative aspects of athletes' perceptions of their coaches' recruitment styles, communication competence, ability to motivate, support, and leadership styles. Past studies have looked into student-athletes' perceptions of their coaches' communication and relationship with their student-athletes. This study builds on this research by exploring student-athlete alumni perceptions of their coaches. As a previous student-athlete alumna on the track and field team at Youngstown State University, I encountered a variety of experiences with multiple coaches. I interviewed seven men and seven women alumni who were members of the Youngstown State University Track and Field team. I used three demographic questions, 26 nonverbal immediacy scale-observer questions (Richmond, McCroskey, & Johnson, 2003), and five open ended questions to apply the social exchange theory to athletes' perceptions of their coaches' communication competence, motivation, support, and leadership styles. Results also indicate a difference between men's and women's perception of their coaches. Women's primary factors included support combined with trust from coaches. Men mainly looked at their individual performance, injuries, and financial aid to figure out whether they wanted to be on the team or not. This study indicates that athletes are satisfied when their coaches treat athletes like friends and treat each individual athlete with care.

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.

Book excerpt: This nationwide online survey, the largest of its kind to-date, was designed to generate facts and analysis of the workplace experiences and views of both female and male coaches of intercollegiate women's sports. This research is unique in that it is the first to assess male coaches of women's teams and make comparisons with female coaches. The data-driven research confirms there is systemic gender bias; it's not sporadic or limited to a few institutions. Key findings include: (1) Bias is associated with gender of the coach, not the gender of the team. Many women coaches perceive gender bias, fewer of their male counterparts recognize it; (2) Most women coaches believe it is easier for men to secure high level jobs, salary increases, promotions, and multi-year contracts. 4 out of 5 women coaches think it is easier for men to get top-level coaching jobs; (3) Many women fear unfair treatment, retaliation and loss of their jobs if they express Title IX concerns; and (4) More women are less willing to voice their opinions outside of the athletic department and are less involved in decision-making inside the athletic department. Based on the findings, there are policy recommendations at the conclusion of the report meant to help coaches, athletic administrators and academic administrators better utilize college sports as an institutional vehicle for equitable participation and opportunity. The policy recommendations are also aimed at college presidents and chancellors, without whose support and leadership, the creation of meaningful change in the women's sports workplace is likely to be impeded. Methods and data analyses are appended. [Additional funding provided by the May Foundation, Sandy Vivas, and the Vivas Family.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games comprised the best balance of male and female athletes in the history of the Olympic Games. Despite this achievement, females comprised only 13% of accredited coaches. Underlying this issue are the stereotypes that impede women's path to elite coaching. We conducted a three-part investigation examining gendered experiences and imposter feelings in elite coaches across multiple sports worldwide. In Study 1A, 182 elite coaches from all continents completed an online survey investigating their vulnerabilities to stereotype threat, imposter feelings, and satisfaction. In Study 1B, an international general population sample (n = 884) completed an online survey reporting their gendered perceptions of 73 sports. In Study 2, 20 elite coaches who took part in Study 1A were interviewed to gain a deeper understanding of barriers they had experienced during their careers. The findings revealed that gender-based stereotype threat effects on satisfaction operated entirely through imposter feelings. This was more common in women who disclosed more frequent experiences of gendered stereotypes and imposter feelings heightened by sociocultural, socio-economic, organisational, and interpersonal factors. Considering these findings, we offer 10 recommendations to minimise the existing gender gap among elite coaches at the Olympic Games.
