Discuss the potential positive and negative implications of affirmative action within sporting contexts.

Prompt 2:
Affirmative action is defined as the practice or policy of favouring individuals belonging to groups known to have been discriminated against. For example, companies may be more likely to hire a sports broadcaster who is a visible minority (e.g., gender, racial, ethnic) to demonstrate their value of promoting cultural diversity. Discuss the potential positive and negative implications of affirmative action within sporting contexts.

Prompt 3:
Research has shown that many parasport coaches consider themselves to be “accidental experts”. The term “accidental expert” refers to the fact that parasport coaches are often able-bodied, had no intention of coaching parasport athletes at the outset of their coaching careers (i.e., had no specific training related to adapted sport), were introduced to parasport coaching when an athlete with a disability entered their program, and subsequently have had to learn (often on their own) everything they need to know about coaching parasport.

Using course content, discuss the sociological factors that explain how our sport systems have been set up in such a way that parasport coaches are so often “accidental experts”.
