Introduction:

Within this assignment, we have investigated the St. John Fisher’s Athletics Department. Our project group collectively created interview questions that would allow us to analyze the staffing process for a head coaching position within Fisher Athletics.

The average lifespan for a head coach at Fisher over the last 20 years is about 17.7 years, meaning the turnover rate is very low. The AD has been working for the Cardinals for 30 years this June. When he started, Fisher only had 14 athletic programs, which has expanded quite a bit over the years to meet the demand of the growing amount of student enrollment and popularity of sport. Fisher currently is working on the addition of a Men’s Volleyball team to meet gender equity expectations and their mission to create an environment where student-athletes can cultivate and enhance physical, psychological and social

Kampa-Kokesch & Anderson (2001) carried out a seminal review of coaching research and their findings underlined the shortage of empirical studies on the topic. Although research studies can be traced back to the early 1930’s they revealed limitations in the available literature which included inadequate sample sizes, claims not wholly supported by data and weaknesses in methodology. Such problems are not uncommon in newer studies (Passmore & Gibbes, 2007). Fillery-Travis & Passmore (2010) suggest that if we take into account the progression of other disciplines we can achieve an understanding of the direction of growth for the extant scholarship on coaching.
