title: The professional experiences and work-related outcomes of male and female division I strength and conditioning coaches.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the professional experiences and work-related outcomes of male and female Division I strength and conditioning coaches (SCCs). Data were collected using multiple methods, first using an online questionnaire and second using semistructured telephone interviews. It was found that although SCCs generally felt supported, satisfied, and committed, several issues surrounding these constructs were present. Integrating the discussion of gender allowed for the implications of another salient social category within male-dominated professional field to be explored. Several implications and future directions are offered.
