What We Know About the Experiences of Women Beginner Coaches Every piece of information gathered from women coaches helps in developing a comprehensive, realistic picture of their working lives, their reactions to their working conditions, and their coping mechanisms. Until recently, such information was scarce indeed. Thanks to the work of researchers such as Guylaine Demers, Marie-Hélène Audet, Dru Marshall, Gretchen Kerr, and others, a picture is beginning to emerge that, the Journal hopes, will lead to practical initiatives for recruiting and retaining growing numbers of women to the coaching profession. From the currently reported study on the experiences of women beginner coaches, it is early days to draw definitive conclusions. Nonetheless, the more we understand the realities of women coaches, the better position organizations such as the Coaching Association of Canada will be in to recommend effective policies and procedures for achieving the vital goal of more women coaches. — Sheila Robertson The views expressed in the articles of The Canadian Journal for Women in Coaching are those of the authors and do not reflect the policies of the Coaching Association of Canada. |
