In this, Part 2 of the Checklick Annual Coaches Compensation Survey, we will look at general trends and analyze the survey data. 

You can download an extended version of this blog post (with more charts) here!

In Part 3, the final post, we'll do a deep dive into the insights of the data so stay tuned to the Clipboard Blog. 

We will start out with the general distributions of responses.

sport distribution

Let's start with what sport the survey data represents. The data can be directly generalized to the sport of sailing, seeing that 94% of respondents represent the sport. The Other 6% are made up of;

• Powerboating (3%)
• Skiing (1%)
• Snowboarding (1%)
• Judo (1%)

With low participation from those other sports, the data can't be directly translated to their respective landscapes, however, the survey can be used as a comparative to one's experience with their respective sport. 

Although sailing coaches represent the largest user base of coaches on Checklick, the response rate, in general, seems to be much lower amongst other sports. It's not clear to us why sports other than sailing have such a low response rate but we hope that our survey provides enough value for coaches of other sports to participate in the future.

Nationality

To further whom the data represents, the majority of respondents were from Canada and Ireland.

Checklick is based in Canada and has served the sailing world for several years. The Irish Sailing Association has come online with Checklick in the last few years, we hope to see their coaching number continue to grow as the Checklick system continues to gain users in their country. The other countries responding were;

• United States (1%)
• Caribbean (1%)
• St. Vincent and Grenadines (>1%)
• France (>1%)

Again, the data is most representative of the sailing scene within Canada and Ireland. Let's take a look at how this breaks down along demographic variables.
