Abstract

This study describes the results of a survey of high school strength and conditioning coaches (coaches). Thirty-nine of 128 (30.5%) coaches who were surveyed responded, representing 24 of the states of the United States.

Coaches worked an average of 9.13 hours a day, beginning and ending their work day on average at 7:34 and 5:07, am and pm, respectively. Coaches' salaries, normalized to a 12-month contract for comparison, averaged approximately 57,866 dollars and 55,214 dollars for those who were and were not part of the teacher's contract, respectively.
