Analysis of professional workload of the sport coaches

The main motivation for compiling this study was the desire to better define the coaching profession ; provide the list of activities undertaken by coaches ; specify the workload of coaches ; determine the employment status of coaches as well as the rights an d obligations of the employed coaches ; and to optimise the demand for professional work in sport, with the goal of raising the quality of the training work in Zagreb and maximising the potential and the performance of Zagreb athletes. The total number of 6 42 sport coaches in Zagreb filled the 26 item questionnaire. The total average annual workload of the employed coaches in Zagreb sport is 2, 412. The total annual workload of Zagreb coaches goes into a large number of coaching activities, pointing to a comprehensive approach to sport preparation. The coaches have stated that they spend 572 hours conducting various professional and organisational activities, which is 31.09 % above the legally prescribed average full annual workload of 1840 hours. There is an evident need to bridge this gap and propose a sounder distribution of specific professional activities in the total workload.
