Coaching College Women's Golf: Profiling an Emerging Profession
Lewis, Nancy; Miller, Michael
Online Submission
Intercollegiate athletics have struggled with the concept of same-sex coaches, asking the question of whether or not those who coach women or men should be of the same gender. With the advent of Title IX, the conversation has grown particularly acute in non-revenue sports, such as women's golf. The current national study profiles NCAA Division I women's golf team coaches and their attributes. The profile shows a highly educated, Caucasian group who are moderately compensated and have a wide range of coaching experience. The discussion concludes with several key recommendations for continuing to explore same-sex coaching in the NCAA. (Contains 3 tables.)
