Abstract

This article offers an empirical and theoretical examination of racialisation and the inequitable experiences of racialised minority coaches in men's professional football club youth academies in England. More specifically, it examines the ways in which the normative application of racialised ideologies, discourses and practices has engendered some inequitable interactions, representations, evaluations and outcomes for racialised minority coaches in the sports coaching context under review. In doing so, it draws on semi-structured interviews with racialised minority academy coaches ( n = 26) and academy managers ( n = 10) from dominant and marginalised ethnicities to ascertain their experiences and reflections on four inter-related areas of focus: firstly, club academies as racialised spaces; secondly, club academies and racialised stereotypes; thirdly, club academies and racialised assessments; fourthly, club academies and racialised outcomes. The article contextualises these findings from a Critical Race Theory perspective and draws clear linkages between the processes, experiences and outcomes of racialisation in club academies, and the ideological, definitional and discursive power of whiteness and racialised meaning making embedded in elite sports coaching contexts more broadly. The article concludes by outlining some operational implications for club academies and proposed educational activities designed to challenge racialised assumptions and encourage stronger cultural reflection amongst club academy staff.

英格兰男子职业足球俱乐部青训营的种族化和少数种族教练的不公平经历

本文对英格兰男子职业足球俱乐部青少年学院中的种族化和少数种族教练的不公平经历进行了实证和理论研究。更具体地说，文章研究了种族化意识形态、话语和实践的规范应用如何在所审查的体育教练工作中为少数种族教练带来了一些不公平的互动、表述、评价和结果。为此，文章采用半结构化访谈的方式，采访了来自主流和边缘化种族的少数种族学院教练（26 人）和学院经理（10 人），以确定他们在四个相互关联的重点领域的经历和反思：第一，作为种族化空间的俱乐部学院；第二，俱乐部学院和种族化的刻板印象；第三，俱乐部学院和种族化的评估；第四，俱乐部学院和种族化的结果。文章从批判种族理论的角度对这些研究结果进行了背景分析，并将俱乐部院校种族化的过程、经历和结果与精英体育教练语境中更广泛的白人意识形态、定义和话语权以及种族化意义的形成明确地联系起来。文章最后概述了对俱乐部学院的一些操作影响，并提出了旨在挑战种族化假设和鼓励俱乐部学院员工加强文化反思的教育活动建议。
