Resumo: The participation of women in sports is the subject of analysis of several studies that continuously evidence inequality and asymmetry in relation to men in the different spheres of activity within this field. The objective of this study is to comprehend male hegemony as coaches and how it is accepted and/or contested in the sports environment by identifying attitudes that incorporate this male dominance or that contradict and resist it. The sample of this study is composed of interviews with 37 Portuguese female coaches in both individual and team sports. The results indicate that the presence of women in leadership positions in sports, such as of head coach, does not ensure in itself an objection to male hegemony. It becomes necessary that women incorporate the concept of “agency” in order to identify and implement strategies that resist and consequently change the patriarchal structures that perpetuate the underrepresentation of women in coaching sports.

Para tanto, foram entrevistadas 37 treinadoras portuguesas que atuam em esporte individuais e coletivos. Os resultados indicam que a presença no cargo de treinadora não garante uma contestação a esta hegemonia. O caráter generificado atribuído à esta ocupação promove situações discriminatórias que exigem das mulheres ações de empoderamento e agência para que possam modificar estruturas que tendem a perpetuar sua sub-representação.  Department of Physical Education - State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil2020-02-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/4535110.4025/jphyseduc.v31i1.3109Journal of Physical Education; Vol 31 No 1 (2020); e-3109Journal of Physical Education; Vol. 31 Núm. 1 (2020); e-3109Journal of Physical Education; v. 31 n. 1 (2020); e-31092448-2455reponame:Journal of Physical Education (Maringá)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMporhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/45351/751375149365Copyright (c) 2020 Journal of Physical Educationhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMourão, LudmilaSilva, PaulaGoellner, Silvana VilodreGomes, Paula Botelho2021-04-29T13:29:23Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/45351Revistahttp://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/indexPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revdef@uem.br2448-24552448-2455opendoar:2021-04-29T13:29:23Journal of Physical Education (Maringá) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)false
