2014 College Track and Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

ridiculous wrote:

Listen lady, this is 2014 so a female coach can sleep with a female athlete just as easily, so don't try that card. Also, women know how to deal with other women's emotions? Word? That's literally the single dumbest thing I've ever read, ever. How about letting the school decide who is the best person for the job, which is clearly not you, and keep your sexist, moronic opinions to yourself.

Your anger won't help change things. The latest statistics show that one in every five women are sexually assaulted in college.

The best solution to this is to let women coach women and men coach men. It is a no brainer, and it solves the entire problem. More female coaches is the answer.

Heps Gal, I sure hope you don't go to an IVY School.

1 in 5 is the overall female population. Not just Coaches with Athletes.

Putting a female coach with females won't change a darn thing.

It's a pathetic troll post.

How does having females coaches solve sexual assilt on college campuses?

Do coaches moonlight by chaperoning frat parties ?!

We better consult with Bev Kearney on this one.

SUNY Geneseo Head Coach for Men’s and Women’s Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field

Sure. That worked out well at Texas. How many affairs did SHE have with HER athletes?

Heps, your ignorance isn't helping anything either. You quote a random statistic that has nothing to do with your claim, and call that evidence? No citations either. How many female athletes were abused by coaches? Cite that statistic. How many of those coaches were male? Cite that statistic. Bev Kearney? Good thing they hired a female. Oh wait.

You're either a troll or a complete moron, and either way, we can rest assured no one will be hiring you.

Can you please send me the link to this study which produced the "latest statistics" that you speak of.

Did I miss Dartmouth asking for a female in their job posting? Or it just someone's best guess it's going to be a Ms?

I heard that Olivet Nazarene University is going to be looking for a Jumps coach. Kid I know said that they should be posting it soon.

President Barack Obama's White House Council on Women and Girls just released a report of past and prospective administration actions titled "Rape and Sexual Assault: A Renewed Call to Action" to highlight the epidemic of rapes on college campuses. Indeed, according to the report, "No one is more at risk of being raped or sexually assaulted than women at our nation's colleges and universities." One in five students has been assaulted, but just 12 percent of them report the violence. Because many attacks occur at parties, victims often are "abused while they're drunk, under the influence of drugs, passed out or otherwise incapacitated."

Olivet Nazarene University is looking for a part time throws coach.

"Oh, and then we have the nagging problem of most female athletes preferring to be coached by males." This generalization is incorrect. Athletes who have never been coached by a female will often prefer a male coach. It is mostly men who have never had a female coach, thus a higher preference by men for a male coach. Women who have been coached by a female coach prefer a female coach more-so than a male coach. Women who have never been coached by a female coach are more likely to state a preference for male coaches. Athletes who have been coached by both male and female coaches are more likely to state a preference for the most qualified coach, regardless of gender.

No. This is simply the world as you would have it. Sorry. I've been in the business a long time. The majority a female athletes prefer to be coached by men. Female athletes who have been coached by both are even more likely to choose a male coach if given the option. There are some great female coaches out there, don't get me wrong. But for whatever reason, when it is personal, they choose men. Go figure.

Just a troll (Heps Gal 23). Ignore, move on.

I was not stating my personal opinions but what I have found in qualitative and quantitative research. Relying on personal anecdotal evidence as you are is frowned on in the real world because it's often wrong. I've been in the business a while too and, anecdotally speaking, females prefer a female coach. For whatever reason they choose me over all the guy coaches in my region.

Other way around in my area, women are preferring a male coach over the women; just depends on the athlete one is not better than other. Great male coaches and great female coaches of both men and women.

Can we please get this back to jobs!!!!

Olivet Nazarene Has a full time throws coach. They are looking for a full time jumps coach now. Job hasn't been posted yet but I'd expect it to be posted soon from what my kid says.
