SPORTS ROLE MODELS AND THEIR IMPACT ON PARTICIPATION AND SUCCESS IN SPORTS

OF SELECTED VARSITY ATHLETES IN CAVITE STATE UNIVERSITY

Sporting role models are important to young people and can be influential in their

behavior and values. There is a common perception that sports people are viewed as role

models and that they have a correspondingly positive impact upon individuals and the broadercommunity in general. This perception has resulted in a number of programs being instituted

where prominent and successful sports people have been promoted to the community as role

models in order to influence sports participation rates. Further, the proposed link between

sporting success and health has been used to justify engaging successful sports people to

disseminate "healthy" messages to the community.

Specifically, this will answer the following research questions:

1. Who are the sports role models of varsity athletes in CvSU grouped according to:1.1Family members,1.2Athletes/celebrities, and1.3Teachers?

2. How do sports role models influence the participation of varsity athletes in sports?3. How do sports role models influence the success of varsity athletes in sports?4.

ATTITUDES AND LEVEL OF ACCEPTANCE OF COACHES IN VARSITY SPORTS TOWARD LESBIANS

AND GAY MENIN CAVITE STATE UNIVERSITY

Regine D. Uson

INTRODUCTION

The atmosphere of college athletics has been depicted as hostile, unwelcoming, and

homophobic toward lesbians and gay men. According to Jacobson (2002), within the domain of

the university, the athletic department has been described as the most homophobic place on

campus (p. A33). Little research has investigated the attitudes of coaches toward lesbians and

gay men (Roper & Halloran, 2007). No published literature has been found, which investigates

attitude differences of varsity coaches toward lesbians and gay men participating in collegiate

sports.

Overall, the current study is essential for three reasons. First, lesbians and gay men are

members of an at-risk group that endures tremendous prejudices based on sexual orientation.

The prejudice and discrimination that lesbians and gay men face vary, and some forms of

discrimination are even legal. Second, little research has focused on attitudes and acceptance

toward lesbians and gay men in the context of sport. More specifically, the body of literature

regarding the attitudes of coaches in collegiate sports toward lesbians and gay men is scarce. It

has been suggested that, within the context of sport, negative attitudes toward lesbians and

gay men are openly expressed (Wolf-Wendel, Toma, & Morphew, 2001) and these attitudes are

believed to be widespread and accepted.
