Abstract

ALMEIDA, William Douglas de  and  FREITAS, Rovilson de. Sob comando deles: as barreiras para mulheres técnicas nas equipes olímpicas brasileiras. Educ. fís. cienc. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.4, pp.156-156. ISSN 2314-2561.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142561e156.

This article aims at discussing the obstacles imposed on Brazilian women to assume positions as coaches in national teams. As a method, a bibliographic review on the theme was performed as well as a biographical narrative of the only woman to lead a Brazilian team in a collective modality in the Olympic Games, Maria Helena Cardoso, a basketball team coach in Barcelona-1992. As a result, and conclusion, it appears that there is still sexism in the Brazilian sport, mainly for women to ascend to positions of command in national teams.

Keywords : Women's basketball; Olympic Games; Coaches; Discrimination; Sexism.
