Justifications for Unethical Behaviour in Sport: The Role of the Coach
This issue marks the launch by the Canadian Journal for Women in Coaching of its first peer review article — Justifications for Unethical Behaviour in Sport: The Role of the Coach by Ann Dodge and Brenda Robertson. Following this inaugural issue, a peer-reviewed research edition of the Journal will be published once a year with manuscripts accepted on an ongoing basis and published in the language in which they are written. The Journal welcomes submissions for authors who are conducting research on coaching and women. Submissions may consist of applied research, position papers, reviews, or critical essays. Research methodologies may be quantitative or qualitative and may use data gathered through historical analysis, surveys, fieldwork, action research, participant observation, content analysis, simulations or experiments. Studies most appropriate for the Journal are those focusing on issues critical to the advancement of women in coaching and investigations of the challenges unique to their needs. — Sheila Robertson Abstract In search for a competitive edge, some athletes engage in unethical behaviour.
