Abstract

ABSTRACT In 2022, NSCA members were asked to participate in a salary survey. The survey contained questions regarding pay, market, education level, experience, and other employment and economic variables. In total, 2286 coaches responded. Of those who responded, 20% of coaches were female, 57% obtained their master's degree, and 85% completed a degree in an exercise-related field. Regarding salary, the average income for strength and conditioning coaches increased since 2018. In 2022, average earnings by market ranged from $60,527 to $84,575. The highest average salary and highest total salary belonged to coaches working in professional sports. Salary trends demonstrated that higher education, years of experience, senior positions, and working in a higher professional league influenced higher earning potential. The results provided should allow strength and conditioning coaches to review compensation packages and manage income-driven decisions.
