Women in many Westernized countries encounter a wider variety of
career opportunities than afforded in previous decades, and the
percentage of women leaders in nearly every sector is on the rise.
Sport coaching, however, remains a domain where gender equity has
declined or stalled, despite increasing female sport participation.
The percentage of women who coach women are in the minority in most
sports, and there is a near absence of women coaching men. This
important new book examines why. Drawing on original
multi-disciplinary research from across the globe, including
first-hand accounts from practicing coaches, the book illuminates
and examines the status of women in coaching, explores the complex
issues they face in pursuing their careers, and suggests solutions
for eliminating the barriers that impede women in coaching.
Developing an innovative model of intersectionality and power
constructs through which to guide research, the book covers issues
including sexual identity, race, motherhood, cross-gender coaching
and media coverage to give voice to women coaches from around the
world. As such, Women in Sports Coaching is essential reading for
serious students and scholars of sports coaching, sport sociology
or anyone with an interest in gender and sport.
