Book Synopsis "I Haven't Worked to be a Token" by : Leslie Kaye Larsen
Download or read book "I Haven't Worked to be a Token" written by Leslie Kaye Larsen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In NCAA Division I women's basketball, the majority of student-athletes are Black (i.e., 51%); however, Black women make up only a small percentage of the total number of coaches at this level (i.e., 26%; NCAA, 2016). Although these discrepancies have recently been recognized in sport studies literature (Borland & Bruening, 2010; LaVoi & Dutove, 2012), sport psychology researchers have yet to explore the underlying structural and psychological issues that lead to the underrepresentation of Black female coaches in NCAA Division I women's basketball. To this end, narrative inquiry (Smith & Sparkes, 2009) was utilized in the current study to explore the stories of eight NCAA Division I women's basketball assistant coaches who identify as Black women. . During face-to-face interviews, participants described the roles they are asked to fill and the ways they cope with the multiple oppressions they experience as Black women in coaching. Themes that arose throughout a thematic analysis of these narratives (Braun & Clark, 2006) include: (a) Pregame: Learning to coach (b) First half: Experiences from the first 10 years; (c) Second half: Experiences from the last five years; and (d) Overtime: Thinking about the future. It is hoped that these findings will lead to the development of interventions that can empower NCAA Division I Black female coaches as well as challenge current structural ideologies that disadvantage Black female coaches in this context. Further, creating a more inclusive environment at NCAA Division I institutions could enhance the experiences and coaching career aspirations of Black female student-athletes by allowing them to see empowered Black female role models in coaching. Implications for sport psychology consultants working within NCAA Division I women's basketball, who are well positioned to contribute to these efforts, are also discussed.

Book Synopsis Black Women as Leaders by : Lori Latrice Martin
Download or read book Black Women as Leaders written by Lori Latrice Martin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how black women have identified challenges in major social institutions across history and demonstrated adaptive leadership in mobilizing people to tackle those challenges facing black communities. Most studies about black women and social justice issues focus on the responses of black women to racism within the context of the feminist movement and/or the responses of black women to sexism in black liberation movements. Such discussions often fail to explore the ways in which black women's commitment to negotiating their racial, gender, and class identities, while engaged in the practice of leadership, is discouraged and ignored. Black Women as Leaders analyzes the commitment of contemporary black women to social justice issues from the perspective of adaptive leadership. It shows how black women are often forced into the public practice of leadership due to violent attacks from people with whom they are in engaged in interpersonal relationships. The book also breaks new ground by revealing how black women suffer from the devaluation and vilification of their engagement in the practice of leadership in private settings, such as their homes and selected religious and institutional settings.
Book Synopsis Women in Sports Coaching by : Nicole M. LaVoi
Download or read book Women in Sports Coaching written by Nicole M. LaVoi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis The Experiences of Black Women Coaching Womens Basketball by : Ashley N. Chapple
Download or read book The Experiences of Black Women Coaching Womens Basketball written by Ashley N. Chapple and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Black Women Head Coaches-There is a disparity between the number of Black female basketball student-athletes (51%) and Black women head coaches (11.4%) of women's Division I basketball (Lapchick, 2OlOa). Sagas and Cunningham (2004) suggested the population of Black coaches should be statistically similar to the population of Black athletes. This study was conducted to examine the experience of Black women coaching women's Division I basketball. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore the experiences of Black women Division I head coaches (N = 8). The study produced data which were analyzed using the constant comparative method, and open, axial, and selective coding. The researcher found that the participants did not aspire to become a head coach. Multiple forms of discrimination exist in intercollegiate athletics for Black women attempting to obtain a head coaching position and while coaching. Black women head coaches tend to pay special attention to the Black student-athletes off the court. Black female assistant coaches are expected to relate to the Black female student-athletes. There are a wide range of strategies that could help to increase the number of Black women coaching such as giving back and mentoring.

Book Synopsis Women in Sport Leadership by : Laura J. Burton
Download or read book Women in Sport Leadership written by Laura J. Burton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although women and girls participate in sport in greater numbers than ever before, research shows there has been no significant increase in women leading sport organizations. This book takes an international, evidence-based perspective in examining women in sport leadership and offers future directions for improving gender equity. With contributions from leading international sport scholars and practitioners, it explores the opportunities and challenges women face while exercising leadership in sport organizations and evaluates leadership development practices. While positional leadership is crucial, this book argues that some women may choose to exercise leadership in non-positional ways, challenging readers to consider their personal values and passions. The chapters not only discuss key topics such as gender bias, intersectionality, quotas, networking, mentoring and sponsoring, but also present a variety of strategies to develop and support the next generation of women leaders in sport. A new model of how to achieve gender equity in sport leadership is also introduced. Women in Sport Leadership: Research and Practice for Change is important reading for all students, scholars, leaders, administrators, and coaches with an interest in sport business, policy and management, as well as women’s sport and gender studies.

Book Synopsis 'Race', Ethnicity and Racism in Sports Coaching by : Steven Bradbury
Download or read book 'Race', Ethnicity and Racism in Sports Coaching written by Steven Bradbury and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a steady increase in the racial and ethnic diversity of the playing workforce in many sports around the world. However, there has been a minimal throughput of racial and ethnic minorities into coaching and leadership positions. This book brings together leading researchers from around the world to examine key questions around ‘race’, ethnicity and racism in sports coaching. The book focuses specifically on the ways in which ‘race’, ethnicity and racism operate, and how they are experienced and addressed (or not) within the socio-cultural sphere of sports coaching. Theoretically informed and empirically grounded, it examines macro- (societal), meso- (organisational), and micro- (individual) level barriers to racial and ethnic diversity as well as the positive action initiatives designed to help overcome them. Featuring multi-disciplinary perspectives, the book is arranged into three thematic sections, addressing the central topics of representation and racialised barriers in sports coaching; racialised identities, diversity and intersectionality in sports coaching; and formalised racial equality interventions in sports coaching. Including case studies from across North America, Europe and Australasia, ‘Race’, Ethnicity and Racism in Sports Coaching is essential reading for students, academics and practitioners with a critical interest in the sociology of sport, sport coaching, sport management, sport development, and ‘race’ and ethnicity studies.

Book Synopsis White Sports/Black Sports by : Lori Latrice Martin
Download or read book White Sports/Black Sports written by Lori Latrice Martin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-06-27 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports can serve as an inspirational example of what can be achieved through hard work and perseverance, regardless of one's race. However, race still plays a major role in sports, and sports are key agents of racial socialization. This new edition challenges the idea that America has moved beyond racial discrimination and identifies the obvious and subtle ways in which racial identities and athletic determinism affect individuals in the world of sports. Featuring a new chapter covering the history of Black athletes in college sports and the historic and contemporary role of the NCAA and including 40% revised material covering major events and players since 2015, Lori Latrice Martin's influential text makes clear the links between sports and society as a whole and demonstrates that the issues surrounding racism in sports are not limited to the playing field.
