Professional team male-dominated sports have been built on masculine values; however, these values are challenged by the increasing number of women athletes entering this workplace. In this research, we explore the suitability and gender appropriateness of existing management processes and practices through three women’s professional and semiprofessional leagues. Drawing on a feminist perspective of continuum of care, players (n = 36) and organizational representatives (n = 28) were interviewed to gain insights into how athletes and organizations contend with their rapidly evolving workplaces. Framed around the values of affirmation, empowerment, and belonging, the continuum of care contrasts players’ everyday experiences of care with how organizations administer care. The research contributes through application of the feminist continuum of care. We present considerations for the management of female professional athletes in ways that are careful and an alternative value system that is affirmative, inclusive, and empowering.

专业团队男性主导的运动建立在男性价值观之上；然而，越来越多的女运动员进入这个工作场所，这些价值观受到了挑战。在这项研究中，我们通过三个女性职业和半职业联赛探索现有管理流程和实践的适用性和性别适当性。从女性主义的连续护理观点出发，球员（n  = 36）和组织代表（n = 28) 接受了采访，以深入了解运动员和组织如何应对其快速发展的工作场所。围绕肯定、授权和归属感的价值观，护理的连续统一体将参与者的日常护理体验与组织管理护理的方式进行了对比。该研究通过应用女权主义连续护理做出贡献。我们以谨慎的方式和一种肯定的、包容的和赋权的替代价值体系提出了对女性职业运动员管理的考虑。
