This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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: This publication reviews the history of women and girls in athletics, assesses the current status of female participation in high school and college competitive athletics, and summarizes recent policy interpretations by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (dhew) of Title ix of the Education Amendments of 1972. The historical review focuses on American attitudes toward female physicality from the Victorian era to the present. Current obstacles to female participation in sports are identified as sex stereotyping of athletics as unfeminine, the idea that females should not engage in strenuous activity, and discrimination in the allocation of resources for sports. The role of Title ix (which prohibits sex discrimination in Federally-assisted education programs) in ameliorating discrimination in athletics is explained. Changes in female participation in competitive athletics since 1970 are described and related to the implementation of Title ix. Participation figures, by sex, are presented separately for high schools, two year colleges, and four year colleges, and are broken down individually for football, baseball/softball, basketball, tennis, and track. Also described are college budget allocations for men's and women's intercollegiate sports. Appended to the report are statistical tables and discussions and regulations concerning DHEW's jurisdiction under Title ix. (Gc).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This new edition of Professional Ethics in Athletic Training provides a framework for understanding and applying ethical principles across the career span of an athletic training professional. As a professional textbook, this book is intended for use in accredited, professional athletic training programs to do the following: Provide a strong theoretical and practical foundation for defining and understanding professional ethics. The professional obligation of the athletic trainer is defined with comprehensive insight regarding the definition of a profession, upholding the social contract with society as a professional, and the unique values and obligations that guide our professional behaviors while infusing ethical constructs for consideration. Through an awakening process, a rich description of integrity is provided as the underlying element of professional practice. Practicing with integrity is introduced and applied through discussion of theory and development of the constructs of character and moral courage. Define the multiple components of practicing with integrity throughout the career path of an athletic trainer through individual consideration at each level of professional development as an athletic training professional. Preprofessional students are in a unique situation as they transition into the academic and clinical athletic training programs. These students require a strong foundation in the ethical considerations of the profession as well as a comprehensive insight into the potential ethical (and legal) dilemmas associated with the practice of athletic training. By clarifying values and understanding academic and clinical practice regulations, the preprofessional student is guided to embark upon the practice of athletic training. Professional students are in the evolutionary process of practicing with integrity and lend a comprehensive approach to ethical decision making and professional responsibility. Professional ethics provide the foundation for professional students to emerge from academic programs with sound, responsible reasoning to facilitate ethical courses of action and decisions. Young professionals are faced with incredible practice challenges as they transition to independent clinical practice. Workplace influences can provide great challenges for young professionals, so a solid framework for understanding the importance of practicing with integrity and potential implications of straying from one's moral compass are addressed. Introduce and encourage ethical leadership as a fundamental element of professionalism and encourage athletic trainers to commit to a lifetime of leading with integrity throughout their professional careers. Addressing the leadership crisis in health care contextualizes the role of athletic training in the larger construct of health care while providing a comprehensive overview of athletic training leadership opportunities and impact. Character development to promote leadership with integrity is addressed through a rich discussion of leadership styles, traits, and behaviors. As athletic trainers, understanding the essence of ethical leadership in the context of the greater health care system is instrumental to making strong ethical decisions throughout one's career. Leaders are faced with challenges on a regular basis, and leading with integrity through crisis is critically important. Tests of leadership are addressed to promote self-discovery and facilitate leadership development among constituents within the organization to promote participative leadership and strong leadership involvement within the profession of athletic training. Ethical leadership needs strong foundational models upon which to anchor professional behaviors and decisions. Multiple ethical decision-making models are presented to guide athletic trainers through a lifetime of ethical leadership, to develop a strong professional leadership plan, and to establish the confidence needed in ethical decision making to ultimately practice and lead with integrity. Educational settings and scholars within the profession of athletic training face unique challenges. As athletic trainers fulfill the multiple roles in the academy, understanding the potential ethical dilemmas that could emerge, as well as the obligation to pay it forward as an ethical leader, is emphasized"--

Download or read book Gender and Power in Strength Sports written by Noelle K. Brigden and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-05 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores strength sports as a site of political contestation and a platform for insurgent gender practices. It contributes to our understanding of key themes in the study of sport, such as feminism, power, the body and identity. Drawing together interdisciplinary work spanning political science, sociology, gender studies, and biological and cultural anthropology, the book argues that in the face of ongoing embodied precarity, strength sports have become a complex form of both resistance to, and reproduction of, patriarchy. This argument also challenges traditional understandings and definitions of “strength.” Covering recreational-level participation and elite athletics, across experiential/individual, local, national, transnational, and global scales, the book explores diverse topics such as the pregnant strength athlete, the status of trans women in strength sports, and the gendered dimensions of online fitness communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. In so doing, it traces power dynamics and the interplay among multiple oppressions. Showcasing important empirical and activist research, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in women’s sport, women’s studies, gender studies, the sociology of sport, strength and conditioning, feminist politics, or cultural studies.
