Enough is enough: from humiliation to empowerment: the case of Spanish sports woman
This article is the result of two pieces of sociological research (2012 and 2023) ,
about woman in sports. The first one is a description of the characteristics,
competencies and mindset of woman in this area. With an ample sample of
participants where a comparison between men and woman was done and also a
comparison between active and retired sports people.A very innovative piece is
how their emotional and physical world is created. How they are separated from
society to ehnhance their habilities and the effect in the different moments of their
life cycle. From infancy to retirement.Also the particular competencies of this
proffesion are analized and how their resilience is can be taken as a model for the
organizational world, and a change of culture from submission to innovation.
As a second part I consider how a new cohort/generation won the world cup and
how , they fought externally and internally to get rid of the mind colonisation the
previous generation was submitted. They overcome fear they confronted the
masculine oppression and by their action achieved that some of the general
managers (men) were expelled from the organization. It has been an interesting
process to follow how the change has been possible and how they sustain and
overcame this confrontation.
