To what extent does gender discrimination exist in sport

Introduction (300) words
In this section you are setting out the foundation for your work. First you need to introduce the topical context of the essay. Then you should precisely state what the focus of your answer will include and define the key terms where appropriate. You may choose to focus your discussion on athletes and/or those who work in sport.

Main section (1800 words)
In this section you should provide a critical discussion which addresses the key issues and arguments in relation to the question. It should have a clear direction: you are working towards clarity and a reasoned conclusion. Ensure you include key academic research as well as more contemporary academic research, as discussed in the general guidance above.
You should also address non-academic evidence – media representations for instance, which can often illustrate academic theories and concepts. Though you should always make clear your awareness that this is not a substitute for academic material and is secondary to it. You may choose to do this mainly in one section or distribute throughout your narrative. It is recommended that you consider the credibility of different media sources. Once again it is important that you extend the media sources beyond those presented in the study guide to ensure that your answer considers any new developments/perspectives.
You may like to reflect on both high profile and mainstream examples that you have seen in the media that illustrate the issue, such as:

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) awards take place each year in December. Several awards are presented at the ceremony, but the main award is for sports personality of the year.
Media coverage of high-profile sporting events such as the Olympics and Paralympics, and World Athletics Championships.
General media coverage and representation of men’s and women’s sport.
Gender discrimination is discussed in Unit 8 of Study Topic 2; however, your answer to the question should draw upon the content of all four units of Study Topic 2 (Units 8–11).

There are a range of ways to successfully answer the question, but as a guide, a good answer will be expected to:
Consider what gender discrimination means and critically discuss the term using supporting evidence (Unit 8).

Consider the impact of the broader media on sports coverage and representation (Unit 9).
Consider whether there are media examples that challenge stereotypical gender norms in sport (Unit 10).
Consider whether any gender-related power imbalances (e.g. pay, coaching positions) are reflected in the media’s coverage and representation of women in sport, sports coverage and reporting (Unit11).

Conclusion (400 words)
In this final section you should summarise the key points and arguments from the main section. Then you should draw your conclusion based on your evaluation of the evidence presented, and take a position in relation to the essay question.
You should consider the possible implications for those involved in sport.
You should not present any new evidence in this section.
