Feeling Second Best: Elite Women Coaches’ Experiences
This study explores the experiences of elite women coaches in the UK, focusing on how structural practices within coaching environments contribute to feelings of marginalization and underrepresentation. The research highlights the challenges these coaches face, including limited access to resources and opportunities for career advancement, which often lead to a sense of being "second best" in a predominantly male-dominated field. The findings underscore the need for systemic changes to promote gender equity and support the professional development of women in coaching roles.
