Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if hiring fulltime coaching staffs for Landmark Conference soccer teams would have an effect on the teams' win and loss record. The measurement tools were the Equity in Athletics Data Analysis Cutting Tool and each team's personal athletic website. The results concluded that there was no significant correlation between the total number of coaches on staff and win percentage and no correlation between the number of fulltime coaches and games won. Research in this area should continue since there is very limited data on the productiveness of having fulltime employees verse part time employees.
