Correction

To avoid any plagiarism concerns resulting from its inclusion in this work, the following paragraph has been removed.

This has significance, because language is used to create and communicate beliefs, customs, and values that are central to a particular culture and it reveals the unique ways that a community understands and interacts with the world around them,²⁹ including the ways in which it both reflects and reinforces social and cultural norms concerning gender.³⁰ Language contains ‘subtle mechanisms that maintain blockage’³¹ and in a patriarchal society it is used to reinforce the biases and assumptions that underpin gender as when masculine pronouns are used as the default in emphasising that coaching is a man’s domain.³² Language thus acts in an exclusionary capacity, helping to sustain coaching traditions intergenerationally.³³
