Description
In recent years, studies on coaching have focused on the most effective ways to coach, as well as how this is related to gender. Howell and Giuliano (2011) did a study on the relation between people’s perceptions of coaches and inappropriate language, particularly looking at how these perceptions change for specific genders. They found that people perceived cursing to be ineffective when coaching for both genders but was even more so for women than men. Moreover, Theberge (1993) found that many women had to prove they were capable in their positions. These studies focus on how women are perceived in sports and how that relates to coaching. This proposed study will focus on people’s opinions on coaching style, how that may change based on gender, and if it should change for different genders. To do this, participants will take an online survey including questions related to the topic at hand.
