Preparing women for careers in coaching athletics.
With the Title IX paving the way, more female college students are participating in varsity athletics. But career opportunities for women in athletics have not increased. In fact, the number of female head coaches of women's teams has consistently decreased since the 1970's, when they were 90%, to this year, when they were 44.1%.
Disparities abound between athletes and coaches:
* 39% of Division I basketball players are black.
* 43% of NCAA student athletes are women.
* 7% of Division I ADs are women.
"Our lives begin to end the day we are silent about the things that matter," according to Dr. Martin Luther King. With neither women nor minority coaches, athletes lose role models, a diversity of perspectives on coaching and life and a voice in campus athletics administration.
To reverse the trend, a panel at the National Association of Collegiate Women in Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) addressed increasing the diversity among college coaches at its October Fall Forum in New York.
