Dominant Racial Ideology as an Impediment to the Identity of Black Female Athletes
While interviewing Elise, a black Track and Field athlete who competes for Trinity, one of the emergent
themes of our conversation pertained to how her status as a black female athlete has restricted her identity.
Specifically, Elise feels that she will fall victim to racial-stereotyping and judgement if she does not look a
certain way or behave in a certain fashion. Research demonstrates that her sentiments are grounded in reality,
indicating that dominant racial ideologies substantially constrain the identity of black female athletes. In
circumstances where racially-defined codes of conduct are violated, both Elise’s experiences and contemporary
research show that black female athletes may be described as possessing traits such as “animalistic behavior.”
Importantly, in order to remedy this problem, it is necessary to recognize that this dilema does not belong to a
specific set of individuals, but is instead a byproduct of society-wide sociological processes that are
superimposed into the forum of sports.
Both within her sport experience and outside of it, Elise has frequently been referred to as, “pretty
intimidating.” She believes this is based on both her prominent musculature and skin color. With respect to
dominant racial ideologies, Elise feels that she is forced, “to control how much muscle she builds” to avoid
being labeled, “masculine or animalistic.” Even her brother has helped advise her on how much muscle may be
considered “too much.” Unfortunately, during my time as a Track and Field athlete in high school, I feel as if I
was a part of a white-centric culture that implicitly perpetuated these perceptions of black female athletes.
I was raised in a small Coloradoan mountain town with a demographic that was majority white. When
we competed at Track and Field events in more racially diverse locations, these unfamiliar settings made my

�teammates and I generally feel out of place and uncomfortable. Due to our lack of tangible experiences in these
types of environments, all of us were more prone to evaluate and judge the people we saw based on
predominant racial stereotypes. Based on this, my teammates and I were guilty of referring to black female
athletes as possessing a natural edge over their white competitors due to their race and masculine attributes.
The dynamic between dominant race ideology and Elise’s sport experience extends beyond her physical
appearance and also impacts the range of behaviors that are considered acceptable for her to express.
Specifically, during her time in high school and college athletics, Elise has felt that, “she can’t get [her] attitude
super high… because [it makes her] fit the ‘black girl’ stereotype mold.” Furthermore, in circumstances where
her behavior is perceived to align with these stereotypes, Elise believes that she is more likely to be looked at as
uncivilized or animalistic. Ultimately, she is worried that if her behaviors are perceived in a stereotypical
fashion, others will ostracize her and, “label [her] as one of the ‘other girls.’” Contemporary research
corroborates Elise’s experiences and provides further insight into the relationship between dominant racial
ideologies and the permitted identity of black female athletes.
For example, Schultz investigated the 2002 U.S. Open tennis tournament where people referred to
Serena Williams’ attire as a “catsuit.” According to her analysis, the use of this nomenclature is a reflection of
how dominant racial ideologies significantly contributed to spectators and other athletes imposing an
animalistic and masculine persona upon Serena due to her musculature and race. A radio sportscaster by the
name of Sid Rosenberg provided a blatant example of this when he indicated that hypermasculine players such
as Serena Williams, “had a better shot at [appearing in] ​National Geographic​” than in ​Playboy ​magazines
(Schultz, 2005). This comment also highlight the fact that there exists a paradox for many female athletes; they
are expected to both be successful in their sport (which very well may entail building musculature) while also
satisfying white-centric definitions of beauty.

�Krane et. al. investigated this paradox and found that it imparts a great deal of stress on athletes.
Specifically, they found that many female athletes have damaged self-esteems because developing muscle mass
to enhance their sport performance, “detracted from femininity and contradicted the cultural ideal body” (Krane
et. al., pg. 320, 2004). For black female athletes, adverse effects on self esteem and self-perceived body image
are likely to be even more severe because they could potentially be referred to as animalistic, an imposed
characteristic that is extraordinarily demeaning.
Extending beyond how the physical attributes of black female athletes impact their sport experience,
Withycombe also recognized that stereotypical behaviors of African American women can substantially
influence how people perceive them in sports settings. After interviewing an array of black female athletes,
Withycombe found that because these athletes are stereotypically perceived as being loud, aggressive, and
obnoxious, people are inclined to think of them as emotional creatures that act purely on impulse and not logical
thought. This promotes the sentiment that, “they must be ‘trained’ to be successful on and off the court,” where
use of the word “trained” implies an underlying animalistic nature (Withycombe, pg. 490, 2011).
Coakley also investigated the relationship between the stereotypical behaviors of black females and how
they are perceived as athletes. As a result of the outcomes described by Withycombe, Coakley found that black
female athletes must strive to present themselves in amiable and kindly ways as to avoid being labeled
animalistic or becoming ostracized. Considering this contemporary research in tandem with Elise’s experiences,
it becomes obvious that sport is indeed a microcosm of society.
Dominant racial ideologies were originally developed by white European settlers in the United States
who sought justification for exploiting people who had different skin colors than they did. Throughout our
history, the association of non-white skin colors with primitive, worthless, and animalistic characteristics has
been used to dehumanize various groups. This has led to the abhorrent oppression of groups such as the Native

�and African Americans. Although the blunt nature of dominant race ideology has been diluted over time, it is
obviously still present in society. Furthermore, Elise’s experiences and the aforementioned research exemplify
how sport is a socially constructed institution that is considerably influenced by the dominant race ideology
which is ingrained in the fabric of society. With this in mind, it becomes clear that the path towards addressing
and resolving the negative experiences black female endure in their sports involves confronting the divisive
nature of dominant racial ideologies that exist not only in sport but also in society at large.

�In Field Notes and Meaningful Quotes
● Track &amp; Field along Volleyball have been large parts of Elise’s life, but Track &amp; Field became the
primary focus in college.
○ This related to her getting kicked off (to an extent) the Volleyball team here at Trinity not due to
racial tensions, but the fact that she didn’t get any play time. She felt this was because, “this was
the first time in [her] life… that she wasn’t the star athlete.”
● Growing up in Africa, race relations, “weren’t really a thing because everyone looked the same.” She
didn’t feel as if race started to intersect with her sport experience until she came to college.
● When she was younger, her parents taught her that “race doesn’t have everything to do with like
injustices done to you.”
● Trinity, “has been the biggest white population [Elise] has been surrounded by.” Although this is true,
she doesn’t feel as the majority white demographic has been the sole source of her negative experiences
in sport.
● Elise sympathized with Serena Williams in the sense that when injustices are placed upon Serna, she
knows she can’t “cross a certain line” when it comes to associating those injustices with race -&gt; This is
based on the fact that Tenis is controlled mainly by white people and involving race in the conversation
could jeopardize Serna’s career/status
● Elise was chastised by her coach when she and her fellow black Track &amp; Field athletes took a picture
together, and was told that, “this is not the time or place for that.”
● Elise feels as if people assume that, “black men and women are amazing athletes,” and she feels as if
this is an unjust statement. Furthermore, this sentiment is a source of extra pressure that makes her feel
as if she needs to perform well. “When I’m not good, I see the look on their face, and it’s like I don’t
know what you were expecting.” She said that this makes her feel “terrible.”
● One of the most powerful words we used to describe how some black athletes can be perceived if they
exceed the limits imposed by dominant racial ideology is “animalistic”
○ Elise has been told by others that she, “looks pretty intimidating.” Furthermore, she believes that
this is based on her musculature in tandem with her race. She feels as if she, “has to control how
much muscle she builds” to avoid be labeled, “masculine or animalistic.”
○ Elise also indicated that, “she can’t get [her] attitude super high… because you fit the ‘black girl’
stereotype mold… [and she] can’t cross this line, because [she] would be labelled as one of the
‘other girls.’” Additionally, she feels as if this behavior is perceived by others as animalistic.

SPMT 3308 – Sport Management (Spring 2019)
Project Topics
Look over the descriptions and requirements of each project. AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE, but at the latest by Sunday (1/27) before
midnight, please fill out the Google Form I sent you. Rank your
desire to do each project; 1 = most, 6 = least. Please understand
that everyone’s top choices may not be satisfied.
Additionally, present your case for your top three choices. Use
narrative and bullet points, but this won’t be graded. This should
include information regarding interests as well as qualifications.
As a reminder, during these projects you will represent Trinity University,
the Sport Management Minor, me, and most importantly, yourselves. I
wanted to make sure that you had projects that actually mattered. This
means that, for your work to potentially be applied to these organizations,
it must be excellent; Not ok, not good, but excellent. The representatives
from these organizations feel similarly. I believe you can achieve that level
with these projects, and I’m excited for you to show these folks your
talents, skills, and abilities! Know that by being in this class you have
agreed to these terms.
I have sent these project responsibilities to the POCs. If the assignments
need to be altered somewhat in order to achieve the goals they have
presented through these projects, we can and will make that happen. So,
do not feel that you need to stick to the EXACT criteria I have laid out
here. You will definitely put in the same amount of work and effort. The
final product, however, may be a bit different. So keep that in mind and
communicate with me and your POC about any possible changes. I do not
want you to feel as if you are being pulled in two different directions.
Finally, during your final exam period, you will present your project, your
process, your outcomes, and your reflection of the entire project. I will give
you more details regarding that as the semester progresses.
As always, ask me any questions you have.

With its San Antonio roots dating back to 1939, the mission of the Boys &amp; Girls Club is to
inspire youth, especially those who need us most, to achieve their full potential in a safe,
positive and engaging environment that promotes education, health and character
development. The clubs provide professionally designed youth development programs.
Membership is open to all children in San Antonio for nominal annual membership dues
of $50, yet no child is turned away due to an inability to pay. The majority of the clubs
membership is comprised of minority children (94%), from single parent / grand parent
families (more than 50%) and qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch (76%). This
organizations provides another way to participate in sport yet with a much different
impact.

The CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT TEAM will ultimately create a coaching curriculum for
Boys and Girls Club volunteers in charge of coaching children. This group will then host
an instructional clinic for those volunteers. Group members will be responsible for:
•

•

•

At least 12-page literature review/report/synthesis on best practices in coaching for
different sports with children similar to those at Boys and Girls Clubs.
o Sources (at least 15) must include
§ Academic journals (at least 7)
§ Professional journals (at least 4)
§ Interviews (at least 4 individuals, not including POC)
At least 12-page coaching curriculum based on the group’s research
o Includes step-by-step approach to coaching
§ Overall goals of the curriculum
§ Objectives of first few weeks of season, second few weeks, etc.
§ Specific drills and practices to be used to achieve those objectives
§ You own input (based on talks with POC and practitioners)
§ Rationale for each tenet of the curriculum
Running the coaching clinic at the Boys &amp; Girls club with some logistical help from
the POC
