Abstract
What has been lacking is a rationale for professional trainers to employ African American cultural ideas to the training field. This article examines the root causes of the slow rate of change in the way professional trainers in traditionally White mainstream athletics have approached the pedagogical aspect of their work. Because many African Americans and Latinos are now entering fields that were once the preserve of the White male and female, it is important that we explore the nature of this particular asymmetrical relationship.
