Book excerpt: " Early life experiences, preferred work environment, and perceived competence can influence women's career development and aspirations (Colaner & Rittenour, 2015; Gottfredson, 2005; Metz et al., 2009). Barriers such as unequal pay, discrimination, and stereotyping can also play a factor (Deemer et al., 2014; Eagly, 2007; Sa̹nchez & Lehnert, 2019). Despite making advances, women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions. Research has shown that there is a prevalence of former women athletes that hold positions of power in their careers and that women gain physical and mental benefits from playing sports, along with a set of skills that can translate into their working roles (Lavallee 2005; Nair, 2015; Staurowsky et al., 2015). However, little research has examined women collegiate athletes and career development. Using Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR, Hill et al., 1997), this study examined the ways in which sport participation has contributed to women's career aspirations and can aid in overcoming barriers in the workplace. Nine former women collegiate athletes were interviewed, and five domains were identified including: leadership, barriers/challenges at work, personal attributes and experiences gained from sport, work-family balance, and factors that contribute to current leadership aspirations. Interestingly, all participants identified that playing a sport had a positive impact on their confidence. The results from this study suggest that former women collegiate athletes developed a number of useful skills, through sport, to help them navigate different barriers and challenges faced at work. Implications for psychologists and counselors, directions for future research, and limitations of the study are further discussed. Keywords: women's career aspirations, barriers, women collegiate athletes, leadership" -- Abstract

Book excerpt: Abstract The Social Cognitive Career Theory was applied to examine how the desire to coach or administrate are impacted by self-efficacy, occupational valence, perceived hindrance, and role model influence. This study was conducted to address the underrepresentation of females in collegiate sports leadership positions. The study examined if being coached by males or if males in leadership positions is preferred. Women coach less than half, (40.2%) of women0́9s sports and women account for 19.6% percent of administrators in college athletic departments. Hypothetically, the results of this study will support and enhance the NCAA college sports model by revealing quantitative data that provide a foundation for understanding the problems and identifying key factors important to the leadership development of female student-athletes. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, MANOVAs, and path analysis. Everhart and Chelladurai (1998) stated that female athletes preferred male coaches and that female athletes that had male coaches were more likely to perceive discrimination as a barrier. The study0́9s finding is that collegiate female student-athletes had a high perception of female coaches and female administrators and a preference for female coaches.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges that face student-athletes when they retire from formal sport participation coincides with their loss of their athletic identity (how much they identify with their athlete role), often geographic upheaval, uncertainty of the future regarding alternate roles, and change in social support systems, which make this period more difficult to adjust to. This study explored the experiences of the retirement transition of graduating student-athletes. The current study aims to examine this unique experience through qualitative investigation into the collective experiences of student-athletes to identify overarching relevant themes common throughout this experience. The participants were 13 student-athletes who graduated in the Spring Semester of 2017 (May- June 2017), played their sport at a National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Institution at the Varsity level, and were not continuing to play their sport at the elite level. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants between five and eight months post-graduation. Thematic analysis was used to categorize participants' responses and allow for an in-depth investigation of different factors affecting personal adjustment throughout this period. The five overarching themes identified were: the need for social connection, the impact of a goal-oriented mindset, preparedness for the transition, translatable skills from being a student-athlete, and the perspective of their own identity and purpose. The ability to shift perspective to retrospectively appreciate the student-athlete experience, while incorporating it as one part of their overall life journey, is discussed as a protective factor for positive transition outcomes. As the large majority of collegiate athletes do not continue to play their sport professionally, this population is in high need of continued guidance. The present work can inform interventions to aid student-athletes in this difficult transitional period. Mentorship from previously graduated student-athletes, coaches, or administrative programs are suggested as a tangible positive intervention strategy based off of the results.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The barriers and challenges women confront in the sports industry, which represents a male-dominant field, have been well-documented in the sport management literature. However, there is a still lack of research on how women who aspire to work in sports industry perceive those barriers or what supports they receive as pursuing their desired careers. While the majority of research in the sport management discipline examined female sport management students' perceptions of sports careers, female student-athletes' unique experiences in managing the tasks of both academics and athletics would offer new insights into women's careers in sport. Because of abundant opportunities to engage in athletic activities within a team or athletic department, it is imperative to capture and unpack female student-athletes' experiences within both athletics and their majors in examining perceived barriers and supports to careers in sport. Furthermore, the number of female student-athletes has been increasing substantially after the passage of Title IX and various factors influencing their career development should be thoroughly and qualitatively examined from a holistic perspective. The current study therefore qualitatively explored female student-athletes' perceptions of supports and barriers to their future careers in sport through the lens of social cognitive career theory.

Book excerpt: Collegiate athletes have spent their athletic career growing their athletic identity and are given significant support throughout their time in college, and so, the transition into retirement can be difficult and often cause a sense of loss with the end of their athletic career. This transition from college into sports retirement can be affected by a variety of different factors and influences on the individual and their experiences. This mixed methods, phenomenological study looked at the impact of athletic identity on both male and female athletes as they transitioned into retirement, focusing on Division I baseball and softball athletes. These participants were asked to answer the AIMS-Plus questionnaire and participate in an open-ended interview looking retrospectively at their collegiate career and transition into retirement. The results of the AIMS-Plus questionnaires revealed five athletes with high athletic identity (scores 1467-2200), three females and two males, and five athletes with moderate athletic identity (scores 1466-733), three males and two females. The data analysis of the interviews found the common positive factors influencing an athletes transition were outside interests, support from family and teammates, and continued relationship with their sport. The negative factors were involuntary retirement, the time commitment of their college program, and the lack of support from their programs after retirement. Injury was found to be both a positive and negative factor in transitioning depending on the individuals' relationship with the injury. Participants with a higher athletic identity, scored through the AIMS-Plus questionnaire, used language of depression and reported a sense of loss. Some participants reported their athletic identity helping them transition into their next career, focusing on the skills they had learned through athletics. In the reflections of these participants it was found that they wished there was a program in place to aid them into retirement with emphasis on career planning, support groups, and nutrition and exercise education. In summary, the experiences of collegiate athletes transitioning into retirement is influenced by a variety of factors and highly individual. The clinical significance of this research should provide future research into implementing support programs for collegiate athletes transitioning into retirement.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the relationship between the athletic identity and career maturity of women's basketball student-athletes. Differences in athletic identity and career maturity were also investigated based on a women's basketball student-athlete's level of competition, race, year in school, socioeconomic status, and professional athletic career aspirations. In order to examine the relationship between these variables, a convenience sample of 209 women's basketball student-athletes from NCAA Division I (n = 62), NCAA Division II (n = 40), NCAA Division III (n = 50), and NAIA (n = 57) institutions located in the southeastern region of the United States participated in the study. Participants completed the Career Maturity Inventory-Revised Attitude Scale, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. From the analyses, it was found that for women's basketball student-athletes, stronger identification with the athletic role is associated with lower levels of career maturity. It was also found that NCAA Division I student-athletes had significantly higher levels of athletic identity and significantly lower levels of career maturity than Division II student-athletes. Likewise, student-athletes that planned to pursue a professional basketball career (n = 76) displayed significantly higher levels of athletic identity and significantly lower levels of career maturity than those that do not (n = 133). However, study results did not find any statistically significant differences in athletic identity or career maturity based on a women's basketball student-athlete's race, year in school, or socioeconomic status. Future research should explore an interaction of psychological variables that may affect the relationship of athletic identity and career maturity of women's basketball student-athletes as well as investigate the athletic identity and career maturity of female student-athletes from other sports where there is a potential to compete professionally.

Book excerpt: Many sport sociologists argue sports play a significant role in creating culture (Horne & Manzenreiter, 2006; L'Etang, 2006). Yet, even as there has been a gender revolution in U.S. sports, media "coverage today misrepresents both the participation and the interest in women's sports across our population at large" (p. 3). A powerful entity, the media misrepresentation of the number of females competing devalues the importance participation plays in the lives of many females. Their status as "jock" causes potential negativity as they navigate college and their roles in society, and their status as "female" carries historical conditions in all realms, including education and athletics. Finally, their combined status as "female-athlete" is underplayed in the media, adding to the marginalization of women, especially those who play sports. The purpose of this qualitative study was to further understand the essence of passion, specifically the passion females have for sport and how passion develops and is sustained in the patriarchal environment of collegiate athletics. Defined by Vallerand (2008) as "a strong inclination toward a self-defining activity that one likes (or even loves), finds important, and in which one invests time and energy," (p. 4) understanding passion may help researchers and practitioners better understand the female, college student-athlete experience. In particular, this research, framed by Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Ryan & Deci, 2000), and informed by phenomenological and feminist philosophies, focused on how passion has been developed and/or sustained by examining the experiences of ten female, college student-athletes who compete at the Division I level by employing semi-structured interviews, a focus group and observations. As university student-athletes, they participate passionately in environments that have historically limited their opportunities (academia and athletics). Yet, despite such historic limitations, upon listening to their stories, several themes arose that help explain the emergence and persistence of their passion. These include 1) personal connections, 2) rising to challenges, 3) effort intensive, and 4) for the love of the game. This study concluded that relatedness, autonomy, and competence help develop and sustain passion. Likewise, these females are using their bodies as agents to re-define what it means to be an athlete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, when sport simply excluded girls, the equation of males with active athletic power and of females with weakness and passivity seemed to come easily, almost naturally. Now, however, with girls’ and women’s dramatic movement into sport, the process of exclusion has become a bit subtler, a bit more complicated-and yet, as Michael Messner shows us in this provocative book, no less effective. In Taking the Field, Messner argues that despite profound changes, the world of sport largely retains and continues its longtime conservative role in gender relations.To explore the current paradoxes of gender in sport, Messner identifies and investigates three levels at which the "center" of sport is constructed: the day-to-day practices of sport participants, the structured rules and hierarchies of sport institutions, and the dominant symbols and belief systems transmitted by the major sports media. Using these insights, he analyzes a moment of gender construction in the lives of four- and five-year-old children at a soccer opening ceremony, the way men’s violence is expressed through sport, the interplay of financial interests and dominant men’s investment in maintaining the status quo in the face of recent challenges, and the cultural imagery at the core of sport, particularly televised sports. Through these examinations Messner lays bare the practices and ideas that buttress-as well as those that seek to disrupt-the masculine center of sport. Taking the Field exposes the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which men and women collectively construct gender through their interactions-interactions contextualized in the institutions and symbols of sport.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been very limited research on sport retirement concerning the experiences that female collegiate athletes face when retiring from a sport due to injury. The purpose of this qualitatively study was to explore, understand, and describe experiences that former NCAA Division I female gymnasts had when they retired from gymnastics, part-way through college, due to injury. The main objective of the study was to attempt to understand female collegiate gymnasts' sport retirement experiences and the impact these experiences may have had on their identity development and college experience. The study also considered female collegiate gymnasts' perceived needs and coping skills during the injury and sport retirement processes. Initial and follow-up phone interviews were conducted with nine former female collegiate gymnasts who experienced difficulty when becoming injured and transitioning to retirement. Interviews were conducted to explore and understand the women's experiences with sport injury and retirement. A phenomenological approach was utilized to analyze the qualitative data in order to find common elements of female collegiate gymnasts' experiences with retirement due to injury. Several themes emerged from the women's experiences, including the role of gymnastics in the women's lives, the injury experience, the transition to retirement, the impact on their college experience, the impact on their identity, what was beneficial to them in coping, challenges in coping, and needs experienced in transitioning to retirement. The women also shared their advice for other collegiate athletes facing a similar situation and their feelings about participating in the study. Findings are discussed in terms of understanding female collegiate gymnasts and retirement due to injury, implications for psychologists and other professionals who work with female collegiate gymnasts, and implications for future research.
