FOSTERING DIVERSITY AND GENDER EQUITY
The NCAA believes in and is committed to diversity, inclusion and gender equity among its student-athletes, coaches and administrators. To further that mission, the NCAA’s Board of Governors created the Pledge and Commitment to Promoting Diversity and Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics, which commits those who sign it to achieving ethnic and racial diversity and gender equity in hiring sports practices. Developed out of a member concern for the low representation of racial and ethnic minorities and women in coaching and athletics administration at all levels, the pledge has received widespread support since its launch in 2016, with more than 700 university presidents and almost 100 conferences signing on.
To some degree this is because they are never taught how to deal with life before coming to campus.
MANAGING MENTAL HEALTH
The NCAA provides resources to help college athletes, coaches, athletics administrators and campus partners better understand how to address mental health concerns. The NCAA has partnered with leading organizations to develop best practices (PDF) and training modules for coaches and administrators in support of student-athlete mental well-being. The goal of these resources is to encourage a culture in which reaching out for mental health care is normal and expected.
