Part 1. In this section, we present information on each of the scales from the data on coaches 

and programs. For each scale, we present the items that were included in the construction of 

the scale, along with descriptive statistics (i.e., mean, standard deviation, and sample size) for 

each item. In addition, the factor score loadings for each item are provided from factor 

analyses. Finally, we provide the measure of reliability for the scale, Cronbach’s alpha.

Part 2. In this section we provide the data corresponding to each Figure in the report. We 

present the statistics that are shown in each figure, along with the information required to test 

for statistical significance. While the specific statistical tests vary across all the tables, in each 

instance we report the p-values that indicate the probability that the observed result would be 

found by chance (i.e., not reflecting a true association or significant difference). For the 

evaluation, p-values that are 0.10 or lower are considered evidence of statistical significance.
