TL;DR: This article analyzed 20 interviews with professional female athletes with a particular interest in exploring the problematic nature of performing female identities given the limited hegemonic forms and resources offered by a predominant and powerful male discourse.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of an ''everyday'' discursive practice within football: the routine refusal of appeals to the referee is presented. But the discursive function of this routine practice, its gendered deployment in the collaborative construction and non-collaborative undermining of salient identity categorizations, and the deployment of alternative categories is explored.

TL;DR: This paper explored the gendered construction and enactment of football and coaching, and the framing of women-only (separatist) coaching courses, identifying the deployment of discourses concerning the undermining of standards and the privileging of women as strategies used to neutralize the significance of gender and previous gender discrimination while re/producing the centrality of masculinity for key definitions and identities.

TL;DR: This paper explored constructions of gender inequity in coaching and identified the consistent re/production of women as unconfident in their own skills and abilities, and the framing of women themselves as responsible for the gendered inequities in football coaching.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare different ways of measuring gender composition and demonstrate that existing practice can be theoretically biased, and conclude that within group-level analyses, the proportion of women should be used; whereas within individual-level analysis, the appropriate approach depends on whether a gender-by-gender composition interaction effect is found.
