How many o you know what is paid to your coach/coaches for the season ?
Do you pay into a required fund for the team or a monthly pay or how does the team do it?
how much do you think the coach should make for the time & effort of practices -meets - meetings required to run the team?
As far as schedule is concerned, at Rose Bowl there are 21 workouts a week. Here is the breakdown: 5:30 - 7:00AM, 6:30 - 7:30AM (a small group of 4 - 6), 12:30 - 1:30PM and 6:30 - 7:30PM, and Saturday morning 6:00 - 7:30AM.
Our coach, I believe, is at all except Tuesday and Thursday morning. He does hire assistant coaches who do the Tue/Thurs morning and also help on the deck during other workouts. He also does a periodization chart for seasonal planning. He has given our small group of 4 - 6 swimmers dryland exercises to do on our own. He organizes get togethers at local restaurants at least once a month, he runs a Masters meet once a year in February, he has organized a Polar Bear Club in January of the last four years, a weight loss group, he maintains the website, communicates at least once a week to all members by email, he has written 2 articles that have appeared in Swimming World and Swimmer Magazine and in his four years here has grown the team by over 100%!!
Maybe that is why he was selected SPMA Coach of the Year for '09 and why he is in the running for USMS Coach of the Year.
I don't know what he is paid, but I hope it is in excess of 50K. We are very lucky to have such a good technical coach, good organizer, motivator and person in charge.
Oh yes, and he is Canadian!!:canada:
