A sporting chance? Resegregation of coaching jobs in women's intercollegiate athletics

Abstract

dc:description

"Coaching women's sport is becoming resegregated from ""women's work"" to ""men's work."" This study examined how and why men are entering jobs in women's intercollegiate athletics to a greater extent than women. I compared two collegiate sport organizations: an athletic association and a division of campus recreation. I interviewed a stratified sample of professional staff (N = 32, N = 26) and mailed a survey questionnaire to the entire staff of each organization (N = 60, N = 30)."
