In today's day and age, it is an exception for a woman to become a leader. Women seem to be hesitative about pursuing a career that requires a sense of authority Ms. Barcomb brought forth the presentation about 'The Limits of Title IX,' and she shares clips of famous women coaches in her first video that really highlighted what the rest of the presentations going to be focussed on. Girls and women look up to strong female roles and coaching is evidently rare for women. To make coaching become part of the normal career ideas that girls search through at a young age, there needs to be an adjustment to society.
Obviously, there are women who contested against society. For example, the first woman football coach, Kathryn Smith. Kathryn Smith is a courageous and confident woman who coaches in the NFL. Currently, she coaches the Buffalo Bills as a player personnel coach. She started her NFL career working with the New York Jets. Smith's job consists of assisting men who are probably 12 times bigger than her and the respect she obtains from the team is remarkable. She continues to coach today and she stands as an excellent role model for young women who dream of excelling as a coach.
However, just as I concluded on a previous date about the Women's Chef topic, I do believe that men and women have far different approaches to their line of work. Men tend to speech and do with authority and confidence. While women tend to be more caring and delicate. Despite those stereotypes, there are outliers who prove the public wrong like Julia Childs and infamous Kathryn Smith.
The NCAA and professional league should continue to hire women to be coaches to make it more 'normal' for young women and girls to aspire to be women. It is the league jobs to continue to expand on a diverse network so it is possible and an equal opportunity for everyone who obtains an interest in the coaching field. Women can do as good of a job a man can at coaching.
