Abstract

Kim Sinkhorn, who participated in athletic activities from an early age, was a student-athlete at Ohio State in the late 1970s. Sinkhorn discusses how the enactment in 1972 of Title IX – requiring equal opportunities for women in educational programs, such as in organized sports – affected her participation in sports both in high school and at Ohio State. She also discusses how the law influenced her career after her Ohio State graduation. She describes what it was like to play a women's sport at that time, particularly on a close-knit team like field hockey. Sinkhorn also talks about the impact of the team's coach – Harriet Reynolds – on her participation in the sport and on the trajectory of her career in secondary education after earning her degree. In addition, Sinkhorn discusses the relationships she built with OSU teammates, coaches, and the students whom she taught as a high school Physical Education teacher. Finally, she discusses her retirement activities, and her overall relationship with Ohio State over the years.
