Abstract
This study investigates the current status of coaching faculty in Sichuan Provincial Water Sports Schools through literature review, questionnaire survey, interview, and mathematical statistics methods. The findings reveal that: there are only 6 water sports schools in Sichuan Province, with both the number of schools and coaches being very limited; male coaches outnumber female coaches, and the aging problem among water sports coaches is quite prominent; coaches' education is mainly bachelor's degree, with very few holding master's degrees, and the professional title structure is dominated by intermediate and senior coaches, with very few junior and national-level coaches; coaches rarely participate in external training annually, publish few papers each year, and have weak overall research capabilities; most coaches are retired athletes, indicating a single source of coaches. Based on the problems identified in this survey, several targeted countermeasures are proposed to provide some references for the development of water sports schools in Sichuan Province.
