Abstrakt: Two hundred twelve high school varsity head coaches who coached sanctioned sports in the Arkansas Activity Association (AAA) served as subjects for this study. Participants were asked to identify selected demographic and career information, the undergraduate degree course work they completed in their undergraduate preparation programs, and those courses they currently deemed essential in their job as head coaches. Upon completion of a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, it was determined that a statistically meaningful difference existed between the two lists. When comparing the top 5 courses, two were found to be held in common between the lists (40%). When comparing the top 10 there were 6 commonalities between the rankings (60%), and when the top 15 courses were scrutinized there were 10 courses identified as being similar between the two inventories (66.66%). As it related to the grouping of courses within the study into curricular categories, those courses identified with Physical Education decreased -32 positions between the two rankings, while those courses associated with Athletic Coaching rose a total of +22 rank order positions between the two rankings. Those courses related to Exercise Science, although remaining relatively stable between the two lists, still rose a combined +7 rank positions between the two lists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
