Abstract
The number of female athletic trainers is growing fast but there is a small amount present in male professional sports. The topics of harassment, discrimination and work-life balance challenges are talked about as trials female athletic trainers face in the industry. This research looked at why there is a lack of female athletic trainers in male professional sports using the topics of harassment, discrimination and work-life balance as three reasons why this might be. The methodology for this research consisted of sending out surveys to female athletic trainers at the professional and collegiate level. Qualitative data was collected to find a connection between harassment, discrimination, work-life balance and the shortage of female athletic trainers in male professional sports.
