6 — Framework for gender mainstreaming in coach education

Training Modules and Educational Materials

Inclusive coach education must include pedagogically sound training modules that reflect diverse coaching realities. Studies highlight that most materials still centre male-dominated norms and examples (LaVoi, 2016).

Core content areas:

  • Gender and intersectionality in sport
  • Recognizing and addressing stereotypes
  • Inclusive communication and leadership styles
  • Designing safe, supportive environments

EIGE (2022) suggests using interactive tools such as e-learning modules, video cases, and gender-neutral checklists to reach different learning preferences and enhance retention.
