- Abstract
Lack of coaches is often identified as an issue when discussing management of school-based extracurricular sports activities. Collegiate athletes can serve as a resource, becoming external coaches. The purpose of the present study was to examine the characteristics of collegiate athletes who have motivation and feasibility to become external coaches. An Internet-based cross-sectional survey was conducted of 300 collegiate athletes (148 female, 152 male) who participated in collegiate athletic clubs. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to clarify the proportional differences of collegiate athletes who have motivation and feasibility to become external coaches, based on their characteristics. Results showed that collegiate athletes who have more experience in the sport, who are regular players in lower grades, and who have willingness to teach have higher potential to become external coaches. Trials that focus on those characteristic collegiate athletes could develop effective recruitment strategies for external coaches.
