Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Duties of Men Engaged as Physical Directors or Athletic Coaches in High Schools
The research reported in this bulletin is limited to the collection and summarization of certain data relative to men who are employed as physical directors or athletic coaches. No attempt has been made to solve any problem. However, the information collected will be useful to those who are planning curricula in schools or departments' of athletic coaching. When using any of the information presented in the following pages, one should bear in mind that the facts relate only to existing conditions and should avoid the error of assuming that it is. Desirable to perpetuate these condi tions. For example, it was found that golf teams are coached by only percent of the men from whom information was secured. This fact does not justify the conclusion that coaches do not need to be prepared to coach a golf team.
This study of the duties of physical directors and athletic coaches was made possible through the Cooperation of a number of principals and superintendents, as well as of the men actually engaged in this division of school work. The fact that slightly more than 50 percent of the questionnaires were returned is worthy of comment. It indicates more than a passing interest in the inquiry. The Bureau of Educational Research is glad to acknowledge its indebtedness to all who have Cooperated in the investigation.
