Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of burnout experienced by current and former head varsity high school coaches in Florida. The sample included 78 current and 46 former head varsity high school coaches. Burnout was assessed by the three burnout subscales of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Results of Chi-Square analyses indicated a significant relationship between coaching status and levels of burnout on the MBI subscales of emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment. More specifically, former head coaches were more likely to experience higher levels of burnout on the MBI subscale of emotional exhaustion than current coaches. Minor sport coaches were more likely to experience high levels of burnout on the MBI subscales of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization than major sport coaches. The ANOVA revealed a significant main effect for coaching status and a significant main interaction effect for coaching status and sport classification based on the subscale of personal accomplishment. No significant difference was evident on all levels of burnout based on gender and current and former coach status. Limitations of the study were noted.
