Which groups should participate in the recommended program?

• A. Athletic directors, coaches, trainers, and athletes
• B. Fans and sponsors
• C. Media personnel
• D. Groundskeepers

Answer: (A)

When designing a program to address race and ethnicity in sport, the people who shape and execute daily practice are the ones who should participate. Athletic directors, coaches, trainers, and athletes are the key participants because they hold decision-making power and directly influence policies, routines, and team culture. Their collaboration ensures the recommendations are informed, practical, and sustainable—from setting goals to implementing inclusive training and daily practices. Fans, sponsors, media personnel, and groundskeepers matter as supporters and environmental factors, but they aren’t the primary drivers of shaping and enforcing the program’s changes.
