I am a women and I know many women distance coaches. What minority are you referring to?
I'm talking about race, ma'am. I'm referring to male and female hispanic, black, and asian distance coaches. I'm not at all trying to say they have it harder lol. I'm saying they don't have it any easier, which is the way it should be, and I'm saying that there are few of them in comparison. I wasn't suggesting a reason, just stating an observation.
Now I don't think it's necessary to dive further into what was said. You can a full study if you want numbers rather than just looking at the obvious. But I do apologize if it bothered you that I didn't include women. So let's just allow the thread to return to being about open coaching positions, thanks.
I think a lot of it is in part to the fact that most distance runners aren’t a minority which isn’t an excuse it’s still not right, I believe most sprint coaches are black however. I do believe theirs too many white men in coaching their should me more ethnical Diversion in head coaches. Theirs white men who have head coaching positions as sprints coaches and have never sprinted a day in their life. I believe also that a lot of women that aren’t white are really getting screwed more than anyone. Theirs many of us white women who are getting positions without any experience like a previous poster mentions but it is becoming acceptable.
