As we see that in everyday sports team whether it be at a university or and a youth athlete team, we always tend to see more men coaches than women. From personal experience, even female teams have male coaches, which I can see to some extent that it would be better to have a male coach because they are known to being aggressive and competitive as opposed to women because the exact opposite. But, when reading many articles, women coaches have increased at a certain level but when in competing for a certain positions. For example, when both men and women apply for the same coaching position for a men’s team, women are very hesitant to apply for this position even though they are even more qualified that some men may be. According to Diverse magazine, in 2008 there was a reported 42.8% women coaches, in my opinion I think that our society will not see women and men equal anytime soon, therefore leading the percentage of women coaches to lower.
