ABSTRACT

Ideally the following questions will be asked when observing a coach working in a single-sex context and again when observing a coach working in a coeducational setting. (Take note, even in a single-sex setting, athletes can be positioned along gendered lines. For example, if a male athlete is not working hard enough he may be called a ‘girl’ which calls into question his masculinity and sexuality as well as being demeaning to females.) When answering the following questions you may wish to seek some assistance from a friend to assist with the data collection.
