Coaches and administrators as change agents.
With men coaching more than half of women's college teams and 17% of colleges having at least one female head coach of a men's team, gender diversity in athletics has become an important issue.
A new workshop at the NCAA Title IX Seminar in Chicago in May covered gender issues in varsity athletics. Leaders were D. Venice Smith, a consultant in the office of multicultural development, and Brent Bilodeau, an assistant in the office of multicultural development, both at Michigan State University.
They started by sharing these working definitions:
-Sex is the biological term categorizing people as female or male based on genes and genitalia.
-Gender is the psychological and cultural identity term based on one's subjective feelings of femaleness and maleness.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
-Gender Roles are the socially constructed and culturally specific behaviors and expectations for women and men.
