Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
The purpose of the study was to identify factors that influenced the philosophies and expectations of wheelchair and stand-up basketball coaches, and to detect similarities and differences between the two groups of coaches. The original research questions that focused primarily on differences amongst wheelchair coaches were refrained to focus more on comparisons between the wheelchair and stand-up coaches and the influence of sport ethic or disability stereotypes on thoughts of the coaches. The researcher used qualitative measures to study 22 wheelchair and 21 stand-up basketball coaches who represented youth, adult club, and college teams. Coaches took part in an interview, which was transcribed and analyzed using qualitative methods. Coaches also completed a written questionnaire, which was returned by 17 out of the 21 stand-up coaches and 18 out of the 22 wheelchair coaches. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and differences between the coaches were identified based on the results of t-tests..
