Q

The number of women taking part in sport at a recreational and elite level has increased in recent years.

Using your knowledge of the factors affecting the emergence of elite female performers, analyse the graph and suggest reasons for the results shown.

(Total 8 marks)

A

AO1 − Knowledge of factors affecting the emergence of elite female performers

E.g. there has been an emergence of elite female performers in the late 20th century and early 21st century. Although they don’t have the same amount of media coverage as male sports performers, the amount of media coverage has increased. This has led to fewer female role models. There has been more opportunities for women to join sports clubs. These opportunities have been made more attractive, eg by introducing female only classes or teams. Women’s sport has been boosted by initiatives, e.g. Sport England, which again has raised awareness. Work has been done to deconstruct traditional gender stereotypes, eg women stay at home to look after children.

AO2 − Application to the graph

E.g. the number of females registered has risen significantly, with an increase from just over 200000 in 1985 to 1300000 in 2015, which could have come from an increase in equal opportunities. There has been a steady rise year on year with no drops in the rate of the rise, which could be facilitated by greater media coverage of the women’s game, which in turn has led to more female roles models. The rise has increased since 2005 which indicates the momentum has increased, eg due to more female provision / clubs.

AO3 − Analysis of the reasons for the results shown in the graph

E.g. football is more available and socially acceptable so more women are likely to start playing. Media coverage of women’s football has increased, eg women’s world cup / Champions League so more women are aware and likely to play and improve. There are more female footballers and therefore more people have heard of the big names, eg Kelly Smith. This can inspire younger players to play. Women who were encouraged to take up sport in the 20th century might encourage their children to do the same, which could lead to an increase.

There are presumably more clubs to cater for the increase in registered players, therefore more opportunities for the growing numbers to play competitively. FIFA / UEFA / governing bodies are more likely to fund women’s football and the increase in the number of coaches and clubs allows and inspires more to play.

As domestic stereotypes and women’s rights have improved, more cultures / religions / countries have allowed women to play.

Accept any other relevant analytical point about the graph and suggestions for the results shown in the data.

Use the data in the table to support your answer.

(Total 8 marks)

A

AO1 – Knowledge of commercialisation and technology for sports analytics

Commercialisation

Eg, This is the selling of a product for profit. In order to sell a product, commercial enterprises need access to as many people as possible; this is achieved through the media. The link between the media and commercialisation and sport is often referred to as the golden triangle, each corner of the triangle impacting on the others.

With improvements in technology sport is now available to a mass audience, increasing the commercial value of sport. Sport is accessible via many different media outlets, for example, radio, TV and the internet.

Technology for sports analytics

Eg, Sports analytics is the use of data to better understand a performance in sport. It can be used to collect different types of data, e.g. athlete performance data, biomechanical data, fitness data. Using technology data becomes objective, providing valid and reliable data on which to base further analysis.

AO2 – Application to the 100 metre sprinter

Eg, Commercialisation makes more money available to the sprinters through sponsorship deals or televised appearances in commercials.

Sprinters can use this money to finance their training. As sport has become more commercial more funding has been available so the athlete can work with the best coaches, sports nutritionists, sports psychologists, and other professionals who can help them achieve and maintain peak performance.

Technology for sports analytics will improve data collection, for example, during training sprinters may wear motion detecting sensors, which capture their performance which can then be analysed to search for any slight weakness, or area for improvement.

AO3 – Analysis / Evaluation through discussion of the potential impact of commercialisation of sport and use of technology on sprint times

Eg, Despite the data anomaly of 1976 (where times increased), the data trend shows an improvement in 100m sprint times, from 10.40 s in 1952 to 9.63 s in 2012. This is a significant improvement in performance over time. If these two performers raced side by side the runner from 2012 would complete the race metres in front of the opposition. The anomaly in 1976 where times dropped could be due to a number of factors, for example, nations boycotting the event, the quality of the running track, the running environment.

Commercialisation

Eg, This increase in performance could be due to the additional time athletes can spend training as a result of the increased funding available due to commercialisation. Even though the Olympics is still an amateur sport there is increased funding available for talented and elite athletes, for example lottery funding, which can be used to finance increased / more targeted levels of training. There is also sponsorship and endorsement possibilities for high profile elite athletes, like those who win the 100m which means they can train full time rather than have to combine training with work. Through increased fitness, from the additional training, performances will improve.

Technology for sports analytics

Eg, Due to increased revenue for the sport as well as the performer through commercialisation money has been available to develop sport technology to further improve sport performance. For example, through improved data collection of performance, e.g. running gait, the biomechanics of the sprinters running action can be analysed, increasing the efficiency of the sprinter, improving their time. Weaknesses can be more readily identified and corrected, again improving time.

Accept other appropriate considerations of how commercialisation and the use of technology for sports analytics have affected performance in the 100 metres at the Olympic Games.

Q

Explain the positive effects the media has had on the modern form of association football. [6 marks]

A

AO2 − Describe the positive effects the media has had on the modern form of association football

Due to increased media coverage of association football there has been an increase in positive role models for the public to identify with, for example Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi.

This has also meant that there is a huge amount of funding and sponsorship opportunities / advertising income to football due to the TV rights from Sky and BT.

Due to increase in media coverage of women playing, football myths and stereotypes can be broken associated with the ability of women to play sports such as football to a high level.

The positive impact of the introduction of technology via advances in media, for example, referees being miked up has been positive due to the audience being able to hear decisions / discussions.

AO3 − Explain the positive effects the media has had on the modern form of association football

Due to increased media coverage of association football there has been an increase in positive role models for the public to identify with which has increased participation and popularity of association football as a sport as many people around the world play the sport.

Due to the huge amount of funding and sponsorship opportunities / advertising income to football due to the TV rights this has meant that the clubs and players have large amounts of money to invest in facilities for football and in coaches as well as providing high salaries for players.

Accept other relevant explanations of the positive effects the media has had on the modern form of association.

Q

In 2018, Alexis Sánchez became the highest earner in the Premier League with a reported wage of £350 000 per week.

Evaluate the impact that wages associated with modern day professionalism in association football has on the status and motivation of players.

(Total 8 marks)

A

AO1 – Knowledge of modern day growth in professionalism and motivation

  •    Modern day professional is, respected for their talent, has more time to train, experience celebrity status and are positive role models in society.
  •    Motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic, with extrinsic being tangible or intangible.

AO2 – Application of the status of professional in association football and motivation of players

  •    The status of the player influences their ability to become role models / their responsibilities can increase.
  •    As status of player increases they may have more opportunity to access better facilities.
  •    As status of player increases they may be afforded more opportunities.
  •    The status of a player may encourage them to support charities more / public speaking opportunities.
  •    Players may gain sponsorship from status.
  •    Status of player may support an increase in sponsorship / commercial / media attention and branding opportunities.
  •    Players may receive high monetary rewards for their talents.
  •    More money is being invested in football due to professionalism.
  •    Professionals train full-time and have the benefit of utilising state of the art facilities and training equipment.

  •    Other players may be extrinsically motivated by extrinsic rewards, which may be trophies or the wages they receive - tangible.
  •    Extrinsic motivation may be intangible, whereby the player is motivated by the praise they receive, from manager, fellow competitors or spectators.

AO3 – Evaluation of the impact of high wage increases associated with professionalism have had on the status and motivation of players

  •    The increase in weekly wages could increase the intrinsic motivation of players to train harder and play better, which would increase their value and future wage demands, as well as making for a more entertaining game.
  •    On the other hand players may become overly reliant on extrinsic rewards of high wages and lose the intrinsic motivation, which could become detrimental to their efforts and values.
  •    Some players may be happy to avoid playing or not being part of the starting 11 as they are still being paid large salaries / wages.
  •    The players may lose the love for the game and show no loyalty, whilst chasing higher wages.
  •    A balance between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation would be ideal, but too much reliance on the extrinsic could damage intrinsic motives.
  •    Higher wages may impact on the effort a professional applies to their training / performance, as they are more focused on other aspects, such as sponsorship / media.
  •    Some professionals can be more motivated to utilise their status to support charitable work / use their status to influence positive change.

Accept any other appropriate evaluation around the impact of wages associated with modern day professionalism in association football have on the status and motivation of players.

Q

Evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies being used to overcome specific barriers that may prevent women from becoming football officials.

[8 marks]

A

DR GAS FIRED MC CASS

AO1 Knowledge of general barriers and strategies

Barriers (barriers and strategies must be those relevant to female officials):

  • stereotypes/channelling; lack of media coverage
  • lack of role models
  • lack of sponsorship/full-time positions
  • lack of leisure time
  • fewer competitions.

Strategies:

  • increased media coverage leading to more role models
  • more sponsorship/paid or full-time positions
  • provide education to overcome stereotypes
  • use of social media to create networks
  • laws and legislation to punish sexist behaviour/sex discrimination.

AO2 Application to female officials in football Barriers

Barriers

  • There are currently a limited number of female officials (role models) and the majority of these work in the women’s game which is not covered extensively in the media
  • The only full-time positions in football refereeing in England are in the top two divisions of men’s football, and none of these are women. In the women’s super league players are now becoming full- time but the officials are not
  • The sexist abuse of the small number of female officials in the men’s game may put other women off pursuing this route. There are less opportunities within the women’s game due to the lower number of competitions.

Strategies

  • Increased media coverage of women’s football would increase the profile of the female officials in the sport
  • As the women’s game becomes professional the officials working in it should become professionals too
  • Punishing those individuals who make sexist comments towards female officials would show that it will not be tolerated.

AO3 Evaluation of strategies which may overcome specific barriers:

  • by increasing the media coverage of women’s football/female officials this will increase the number of role models for other women to look up to
  • negative media coverage of female officials/sex discrimination may put women off
  • while social media can be used to build support networks and provide information there is an increased risk that it may also be used to make sexist comments which will negatively impact the number of female officials
  • there is a lack of funding/sponsorship in the women’s game, so the sport needs to prioritise where to spend it. Is paying full-time officials the best use of this money? Also, if they were full-time would the pay be the same as the men? And if it wasn’t would it be enough to make it worthwhile?
  • there has been an increase in sponsorship of the WSL in recent years meaning there is more money in the sport. This means that having officials who make good decisions is more important therefore paying them as full-time will increase the standard as well as giving more women something to aspire to.

Accept any other relevant evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategies being used to overcome specific barriers which may prevent women from becoming officials.
