By means of scale test and mathematical statistics, the authors carried out a scale test on 352 coaches of all kinds at all levels, and drew the following conclusions: the overall degree of career burnout of the coaches is not high, only their knowledge exhaustion dimension reaches a relatively high de-gree; the coaches have good career commitments; their career stress has just entered into a high stress level, their task stress is the highest. The coaches’ career burnout has a correlative relationship mostly with career stress and various dimensions of career commitment. The coaches’ career stress has a high positive predicting function on career burnout; the emotion dimension of career burnout has a low predicting function on various dimensions of career burnout; emo-tion commitment is an essential factor that affects career burnout comprehensively.
