Three Steps to Responsible Coaching
Although there is a general lack of centralised sex-disaggregated data regarding accredited coaches at European level, it is generally acknowledged that there is a significant underrepresentation of female coaches across all fields and levels of sports. As concluded in a report commissioned by the Council of Europe’s Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (2011)2 : Women represent a small minority of the coaches employed in elite sports. The percentage of female coaches tends to decrease the hi
Despite the gradually increasing rates of women’s participation in sport, there is still a strikingly genderunbalanced representation in decision-making positions in sports organisations. Recent statistics2 show that there are very few women in leadership positions in the Olympic and Paralympic Committees, in European and national sport governing bodies, and in national sport federations. This underrepresentation of women in leadership positions in sport can be explained by prevailing masculinis

Prejudice and discrimination against women has become increasingly subtle and covert (N. V. Benokraitis & J. R. Feagin, 1986). Unlike research on racism, little research about prejudice and discrimination against women has explicitly examined beliefs underlying this more modern form of sexism.

In the introduction to Female Masculinity, Judith Halberstam begins with the question “What is ‘masculinity’?”, yet she does not claim to have a definite answer to this essential question. Instead, Halberstam argues that whereas we tend to struggle to define masculinity, we recognize it very easily; conjuring notions of power and privilege. Furthermore, her foremost goal is to separate masculinity from men, and therefore inserting alternative masculinities, particularly female masculinity, into

Since 2006, when the Montenegrin Parliament declared independence, Montenegro had experienced impressive economic growth averaging an annual rate of 8% (until early 2009 when the effects of the global economic crisis began to have an impact) and an upward trend in human development indicators. Nonetheless, these economic trends have been accompanied by a rise in gender inequality in many institutional sectors. This study is the first to investigate that status of women in Montenegrin sport. Quan
In most cases, textbooks diminish the importance of women, placing them in positions of subordination and passivity (Information and Education Center for Women of Montenegro, 2000). Feminists claim that this approach, and gender stereotypes, lower girls' self-esteem and create gaps that have a detrimental effect on the creation of their self-image, their aspirations and motivation.
The image of our societies that the media convey suggests that politics or any other 'serious' public engagement remains reserved for men, while women are assigned roles in the private sphere and entertainment. The public sphere, as portrayed by these media, still remains the domain of men.
Sport settings have great potential to influence social change and prevent violence against women by creating inclusive, equitable, healthy and safe environments for men and women, boys and girls.

The number of women in the Montenegrin police is very small, especially in managerial positions. Women are less likely than men to make decisions that lead to conflict, so they need to be more involved in the security system, and women themselves need to improve their knowledge and show a willingness to engage. Certain stereotypes and prejudices are still present in Montenegro, based on traditional perceptions of gender, but this is a changing category and needs to be addressed.

Recently, the headlines were overwhelmed by another comparison between men and women in sports - National Basketball Association (NBA) star Lebron James is paid 174 times more than ladies basketball's brightest star Sue Beard. And there are objective reasons for this. But tennis is a more democratic sport in this respect, thanks in large part to the "Battle of the Sexes" centered on US tennis player Billy Gin King.
The main goal of the publication "Gender and National Development in Latvia", as stated in the introduction, is to reflect the essential role of the issue of gender equality in the development of Latvian society.

Is there gender equality in sport? The answer to this question will depend on the criteria by which we measure it. Talking to several Latvian athletes, it can be concluded that complete equality in certain categories is not possible at all and is probably not necessary. Howe
32% of the population consider gender inequality to be an unresolved problem in Latvia. In addition, 41% of respondents indicate that this problem has only been resolved in certain areas. People have identified the provision of equal pay and the reduction of stereotypes about so-called male and female occupations (including sport), as well as specific gender roles in everyday life, as the most important areas in which companies should work to improve gender equality.
Increasing the participation of girls in sports in our country and gender equality in sports are among the issues that have been emphasized recently. Various sports programs that include gender sensitivity in their content are successful in many countries, and many scientific studies reveal the positive effects of participation in sports on girls.
Gender refers to socio-culturally determined gender roles. These roles also determine our access to resources, our behavior patterns, our responsibilities, and our sharing opportunities. According to gender perception, women are more emotional, men are stronger and smarter; Generalizations are made such that some jobs are suitable for women and some jobs are suitable for men. Again, according to this point of view, it is not appropriate for women to go out at some times of the day.
The participation of women in sports in a society is a reflection of the general status of women in that society. Considering the position of women and the roles assigned to them throughout the world, it can be said that women are evaluated by their gender before being an athlete in sports. Especially with the feminist movement that has developed since the beginning of the 1970s, the issue of women and sports has been seriously discussed and started to be discussed.

Data on participation, coaching and leadership positions in sports
Women's participation in sport continues to increase, but there are still disparities, particularly among young women aged 16 to 24, who participate much less than young men. In addition, there are still differences in the choice of sporting disciplines and modes of practice. Many factors explain these disparities and differences, including the weight of stereotypes which weigh more heavily on young women.

By rereading some texts by Françoise d'Eaubonne, we have the opportunity to find the roots of what constitutes eco-feminism and the way it promotes the emergence of new forms of meaningful life in sports cultures.
Ever since 1952, men and women compete in the same equestrian competitions during the Olympic Games. This advance in gender equality was made possible by the values that are pledged in the Olympic spirit, that are mixity, parity and crossbreeding of social roles. In this article, we will attempt to identify and analyses why when it comes to a leisure practice, women are dominant, whereas in Olympic equestrian competitions, we find mostly men. Then, our work will focus on women’s means to adapt i
The authors explore how groups deliberate and develop ideas in a communication experience. They note that gender bias plays an important role when positions are taken on behalf of the group. Thus, subject to the quality of their ideas, individuals are less likely to be selected in areas that do not conform to their gender. Individuals are also less likely to put themselves forward when they are part of the gender minority within their group. Social desirability is thus correlated with a search f
This historical article written by Serge Moscovici is a good opportunity to understand what are the roots which permit a person to become a "with them apart" in a society, by being both an insider and an outsider.
The social identity approach is fast becoming a prominent framework for understanding effective leadership in sport and exercise contexts. The identity leadership approach is based on two broad outcomes: performance and health. Using these two key outcomes as an organizing framework, the authors provide a critical narrative review of research that has examined the presence, role, and benefits of identity leadership in different sport and exercise contexts. Applying a broader lens, the authors th
This book allow us to develop an adaptive concept concerning stereotype. So, we have the possibility to consider that Ecomasculinities and Ecogenders have to be included in a comprehensive approach concerning Sport in 2021.
Participation in sport is highly valued by governments and policy makers. Policies and programs encourage participation of populations who are underrepresented in sport. In many countries sport participation is possible primarily under the auspices of voluntary sports clubs, many of which name demographic diversity as an organizational value. Underrepresented population groups continue to lag, however, in participating in sports clubs.
This article analyses the struggle for the inclusion of women in competitive big-wave surfing through interviews with professional big-wave surfers. The survey highlights the resistance to their integration in this male dominated sport. Their bodies in movement, true tools of performance essential to establish their legitimacy are constantly being questioned, as they challenge the gendered hierarchical boundaries and essentialist (fundamental) arguments that contribute to keep them out of and/or
The purpose of the present study was to compare the gender role among college level male and female futsal players. Therefore, 77 college level futsal players (37 females and 40 males) were selected randomly from a Nationally University Tournament teams in Turkey on March 2016. It was used to determine sex roles using the Bem Sex Role Inventory. The data were analyzed by Mann Whitney U test and the significance level of p was set as <.05. The results indicated no significant differences in male
There has been a process of great change and development leading into 21st century in the world. Today’s employee is a very different person in terms of values and needs than the employee in earlier decades of the 20th century. Patriarchal and male power have shaped the construction of leadership, its culture, discourse, image, and practice for centuries (Reay & Ball, 2000). Numerous reasons have been cited as deterrents to women’s advancement; for example, lack of general management and line e
In both subtle and explicit ways, women face many barriers to participating in sports, which prevent women and girls from reaping the many benefits that can be gained from playing sports and engaging in physical activity. Around the world, women encounter discrimination and stereotyping. Women athletes receive lower levels of media coverage, and are subjected to sexist and derogatory language in the media and from people in their communities. The sporting world epitomizes many of the gender ster

Australian cricket has traditionally been an exemplar of hyper-masculine sporting conservatism. However, cricket, as with a number of Australian sports, has recently introduced an elite women's league. Despite growth in participation and funding of women's cricket, it remains poorly understood at the elite level and particularly its fans. Drawing on the concept of gender-bland sexism (Musto et al., 2017), we investigate differences in fan engagement and perceptions of men's and women's cricket m
Although male or female characteristics are traditionally attributed to some sports, contemporary trends are going in the direction of changing gender inequality in sport and physical education. The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between motor and musical abilities of students, attitudes towards rhythmic gymnastics, their success in mastering the program contents of the theory and methodology of rhythmic gymnastics (T&M RG) and genders. The sample consisted of 104 subje
They talk about another text and bring forth parts of it that help developing rules and other things to sports. They also mention that in school discrimination has always been seen but no one has been able to stop it somehow.
She made an article about how some of the people who have been discriminated for their sexuality. In the article those people tell about how they have felt and what people have told them when they have came out of the closet. They have mentioned that men have very hard time trying to get in to sports like ice hockey since its build around "masculinity".
At the beginning they give some examples of discrimination. One of them being that if you are a asylum seeker you cannot become a customer to some specific gym. They mention that there are some unintentional things ruled in teams that become discrimination and cannot be fulfilled because of the law.
IS a Finnish newspage has done research how Finnish women do not get enough regognition as a sports team leader. They have made a little chart that shows how little women have made it compared to men. Only 20-25% out of a 100% are women and they are mostly in sports that do not have different leagues for men and women.
At first they say that those who discriminate in sports should have the consequence as those who use doping. They also say that it is wrong for a young athlete and the coach who is way older to be dating. They are also worried for the players behavior towards referees, opposing team, unsportsmanlike behavior and the use of drugs.
Coaches play a key role in realizing the human rights of athletes.
Introduction. Attitudes of women in Montenegro about distribution of power in relationships between partners determine their position from a perspective of gender inequality, and influence women’s acceptance of sexual subordination and of a violent behaviour of a partner.
This paper is part of a larger study that identifies who plays sport in Montenegro, and the factors (family, education, economic, religious, cultural stereotypes, and so on) that contribute to girls and women’s participation in sport or that limit girls and women’s participation in sport. This study is the first evidencebased research assessing the current status of girls and women’s sport participation in Montenegro, at all institutional levels. Using mixed-methodologies (quantitative assessmen
150 women, sports journalists, write an editorial in the newspaper "Le Monde" to denounce the practices that are at work in sports newsrooms and the confusion that reigns between assertive professional skills, physical appearances to show and physical appearances to make invisible.
The sub-mediatization of women’s sport is a recurrent question in social science research. Issues are mainly based on traditional media and very little on the Internet, which is nevertheless positioned as the 2nd media medium for sports broadcasting. Although women’s soccer still has a weak presence in the media as a whole, it has nevertheless experienced strong growth in recent years. The objective here is to grasp the scope and the forms of visibility from Internet in a context strongly domina

After a career as a high-level basketball player, Paoline Ekambi develops the experiences that have allowed her to be excellent in the sport and those that have given her the opportunity to flourish as a woman, beyond the practice of basketball. Thus, she specifies that a collective performance comes from complex balances within a team. Paoline Ekambi invites players to testify around them the stereotypes that have allowed them to succeed but also the stereotypes of which they are victims. From
Weightlifting : a space of resilience for a transgender?
The practice of sports is part of a collective, even in the case of "individual" sports. It is within it that adolescents seize this type of space, framed by adults, to try to articulate on the one hand social stereotypes about the feminine, the masculine, virility, sensuality, and on the other hand the contradictory currents and desires that assail them. The resonance of these dimensions is a major psycho-social organizer of groups of sports teenagers. These groups can therefore be conceived as
This text is an opportunity to recall the two pillars that make up the construction of a stereotype: a simplification of what happens around oneself in order to re-enchant an imaginary world that belongs only to its author and which has the function of eliminating stimuli that disturb and to promote an inter-self according to a binary logic that leaves little room for the unexpected. It’s also the moment to recall what the opinion of S. Moscovici was about the links between a person and its envi
This article looks at young female referees in football and rugby aged between 15 and 24. It examines their socialisations, dispositions and representations. The analysis of the data collected between 2015 and 2017, by questionnaire and interview do not allow us to validate the hypothesis of atypical gender or inversed socialisation among these girls. On the one hand, they break into sporting fields that are highly masculine and, on the other hand, they choose to take on an exceptional role (tha
During the interwar period, Alice Milliat (1884–1957), President of the FSFSF (Fédération des Sociétés Féminines Sportives de France) and the FSFI (Fédération sportive féminine internationale), accepted a partial adaptation of sporting events for women, while continuing to advocate competitive sport, which went against the wishes of the IOC (International Olympic Committee), the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations), and many doctors. Marie-Thérèse Eyquem (1913–1978) was dire
An epistemological overview of the concept of stereotype is proposed, reminding us that it is always a question of social representation and cultural construction in communication processes. Stereotypes continue to irrigate discourses, practices, imaginations and knowledge, while political and social discourses remain crossed by effective systems of representation to make a complex world comprehensible. The author thus reminds us that, below and beyond interculturality, the utopia of the global
This article highlights the explanatory power of gender stereotypes and their influence on girls' and boys' engagement and performance in physical activities.
This article presents work in sport psychology, examining three processes by which gender stereotypes can affect performance and physical participation. It also discusses the implications that participation in physical activity and sport can have on the social status of men and women
Many authors have questioned (the consequences of) the feminisation of professional spaces. Our question concerns a sports and leisure space, football; and need we remind you that in sport, men and women do not mix or clash, with a few very rare exceptions? So how can football, in a space that is obviously masculine, be made feminine? How do women create and find a place in it? How does the female gender accommodate or transform a technical culture that is considered natural because it is male?
Women’s soccer is becoming the subject of worldwide fever pitch in a context strongly dominated by men. Is it therefore possible to speak of feminization, and should we see it as a collective phenomenon? This work attempts to understand both the scope and limits of this feminization and how it relates to male practice in a global dynamic of soccer development and its anchoring in national contexts. Without showing any causal effect, we establish statistical links based on an analysis of FIFA and
The purpose of this study is to analyze the sport experiences of adolescent female athletes based on the socio-ecological model and gender perspective. We grounded the study on qualitative methodology and critical and feminist paradigms. We collected the data with individual interviews from 27 female athletes (aged 9-17) who live in different (six) cities in Turkey, with differing socioeconomic backgrounds. Content analysis showed that sport experiences of adolescent female athletes were shaped
In recent years, there has been witness a noticeable increase in the number of women who trend to sports for reasons such as protecting their body health and taking advantage of their leisure time. In spite of that, sociological studies on the subject are more related to the reasons that encourage women to do sports, and the effect of sports on the changes occurring in women's individual and social lives is almost ignored except for a few studies. For this aspect, this article focuses on the int

As in other aspects of society, the current status of women in sports is the result of a long and difficult history. In academic studies, a strong link between women's and girls' participation in sports and education achievement is established. Sports also play an important role in the physical, mental, emotional, social and psychological development of participants without gender discrimination. Men and women are equal definitely, however, women are still faced with the problem of gender inequ
The study was carried out in Istanbul. The data were collected through a questionnaire created by the researcher and applied to 570 people (303 men, 267 women) by random sampling technique. The findings are presented as crosstabs. The findings show that women do sports more regularly than men do. The findings also indicate that football is in the first place in the sports done by men while walking is in the first place for women. The first sport activity that is desired to be done by both sexes
Only 7 percent of the female population in our country are licensed sportswomen. Among these, the rate of sportswomen active in sports is only 4 percent. There are only six sports branches in which the number of licensed sportswomen is more than the number of sportsmen: horse-riding, ice skating, gymnastics, dance sports, folk dances and volleyball. The number of sportswomen should be increased in sports federations. The number of licensed male football players registered to the Turkish Football
Sport and sports law has recently shown an important development in our country. With this development, it is necessary to determine the roles of women within the scope of sports and sports law. In this article, the position and the role of women in sports and sports law are mentioned.
Gender is a major social and theoretical category that along with social class, race, age, ethnicity and others, must be incorporated into all theoretically based social analyses of sport. The centrality of body and physical performance to athletic experience makes sport a particularly powerfully setting for the construction and confirmation of gender ideologies and organized sport is clearly a potentially powerful cultural arena for the perpetuation of the ideology of male superiority and domin
There is no official legal obstacle hindering women to take part in administrative work in Turkey. Similarly, there is no opposition to female principals individually. The only obstacle is the traditional social and cultural structure and attitudes that prevent women from entering administrative duties. Women have been directed to the jobs related to health, education and art rather than as principals due to psychological, social and organizational reasons. However, there has been no resistance
The social value system offers masculinity a privileged position. Men think that they deserve this privileged position because of the heavy work imposed on them in the social arena. Gender education, which starts in the family, is continued with social relations. As a tool to disseminate this learning to the masses, the media plays an important role in the socialization process. The segregation, which determines femininity and masculinity according to their gender, is carried on by social instit
Inequality between women and men, as many spaces of society, is also seen in the sports media. At theroot of this inequality, there is theeffect of genderroles. Accordingto Koca and Bulgu (2005) sports, should be examined as a gender based cultural practice. In particular, competition sports have strong messages about masculinity and femininity. Sports, traditionally, seen as a male activity, requires masculine gender role characteristics and superior sporting performance is considered as equiva

Why are women not given equal opportunities to be professionals in ski jumping as men are? The arguments against women include such perspectives as a genuine interest for women’s health, certain protective points of view, the physical inferiority and supposed physical disadvantages of women which are in some cases and contexts incorrect, irrelevant, insufficient and easily contradicted. Ski jumping is the only Olympic discipline which remained exclusively male until 2014. This was the case not o

In order to find out the situation of gender equality in Latvia and its development dynamics, from September to October 2014, a survey of Latvian permanent residents was conducted by the Society Integration Fund (SIF), covering a total of 1,002 Latvian residents and 100 business management and economics students. The research data collection and analysis was performed by the market and social research center "Latvijas Fakti". This summary provides information on the following topics described in
During the Olympics, a lot of media attention is usually paid to all athletes. However, in everyday life, men's sports are much more visible in the media than women's. The video specifically deals with gender inequality in media and TV, where more translations are displayed about men than women. Yet, the independent experts mention that it is hard to change minds of TV viewers who mostly prefer watching men's sport. It also mentions that only 20-30% women are in position of coaches.
The new model of distribution finances covers also the issue of equality. Federations should be considered as the basic unit in national sport and, given the large number of recognized federations, special care should be taken to ensure equal opportunities for all. Yet the gathered research data do not show the equality. This Working Group continues to work on the development and implementation of this study.

Being a mother or being a champion? This dilemma is part of cultural practices that do not admit that a performance can be spoiled by a desire for motherhood! Being pregnant to be a champion?

A well-known Latvian woman coach of Freestyle Wrestling Irina Petrova from Daugavpils says: "I want to break the stereotype that only boys can wrestle. Girls also can. Freestyle Wrestling develops strength, endurance, dexterity, flexibility, coordination, character and discipline. It is also necessary for women and girls."
As in many areas of social life, the inequality between men and women in the field of sports is striking. Sport is seen as a male activity that requires masculine gender role characteristics, within the framework of gender-based discrimination, which sees women as emotionally, physically and physically weak beings and emphasizes women's sexual identity. The media plays an important role in trying to place this understanding in the mentality of society, by using the mass media widely and effectiv

In a society, women's participation in sports is an important parameter in value comparison in terms of trying to understand the general status of women. In general terms, considering the position of the woman and the roles assigned to her against her will, unfortunately, as in all fields, in sports, the gender of the woman takes precedence over the athletic feature of the woman. Since we are still discussing the marginalization of women by men in the field of sports and the limited desire of wo
