Male Coaches

2025-05-11 20:17:44 UTC

According to the Women and Girls Strategy, the ratio of high-performance coaches is 70% male to 30% female. Therefore, male coaches cultivate sporting environments that are tailored to male athletes which in most cases involves ego-orientated metrics of success based on comparison to peers or tangible achievements.

This report writes closely to the theory of Whanaungatanga, emphasising the idea that fostering a sense of belonging through fostering relationships between coaches and players is imperative to getting women more active in sport. For example, "Within a sporting context,

coaches cultivate the type of motivational climate for their athletes which is key to shaping an athlete’s definition of

success."

Male-Defined Benchmarks

The Women and Girls Strategy also incorporates “benchmarks to measure progress against” which appear to be

counteractive. If these benchmarks remain based on the same male-dominated ideals of success in the New Zealand

sporting institution, they will continue to undermine the potential of wāhine

Socio Cultural Pressures

A recent survey on the biological and

socio-cultural factors that influence performance of female athletes in Aotearoa New Zealand found that 73% of

wāhine feel pressured by their sport to conform to gender ideals or alter their physical appearance.

Nicholls’s Theory of Achievement (1989)

The report, mainly towards the end integrates the idea of Nicholls's Theory of Achievement. The report itself discusses how someone's approach to achieving success is derived from their preconceived knowledge on what is accepted and rewarded. The report clearly states this in the following extract, "Nicholls’s Theory of Achievement (1989) posits that an athlete’s approach to achieving success aligns with

their perceptions of what behaviours are accepted or rewarded within an environment. Studies reinforce that coaches’ practices are associated with the extent to which a conductive environment is satisfied."
