The 339 subjects of this research are intercollegiate athletics coaches in Taiwan. A self-developed questionnaire titled "A Questionnaire on Risk Management Perception and Implementation of Intercollegiate Athletics Coaches" was used as a research tool to collect data. The researcher carried out statistical analysis by means of descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA analysis and Scheffe’s method and obtained the following conclusions: 1.The male full-time PE teachers and lecturers who have master’s degrees are the greatest sources of intercollegiate athletics coaches. 2.All intercollegiate athletics coaches recognize that risk management factors are important for athletic teams, and they consider sports training as the most important factor in their perception of risk management. 3.The implementation of risk management for athletic teams is satisfactory as a whole, and among all factors, sports training has been implemented with the best result. 4.In perception and implementation of the various risk management factors, the test results show significant differences. The perception of risk management factors is remarkably higher than the implementation of those factors. 5.Coaches with different background variables are different in their perception on the importance of risk management factors for athletic teams: (1)Lecturers, assistant professors, associate professors, and others have higher perception of factors such as equipment and sports training than professors; lecturers also have higher perception of coach’s professional capacity than professors. (2)Private colleges and universities have higher perception of the medical system, locations and facilities, equipment, sport training, and coach’s professional capacity than public colleges and universities. (3)The coaches who give directions to both men’s groups and women’s groups have higher perception of sports training than coaches who give directions to women’s groups only. (4)Men’s Group A and Women’s Group A have higher perception of management of athletic teams than Women’s Group B. 6.Differences in current situation of risk management implemented in athletic teams with different characteristics: (1)The implementation of risk management factors such as administrative support, locations and facilities, and management of athletic teams in public colleges and universities is better than in private colleges and universities. However, the private colleges and universities provide better sports training than public colleges and universities do. (2)The current situation of risk management in independent colleges is better than in universities with respect to factors such as administrative support and management of athletic teams; while it is better in the military and police schools than in colleges with respect to locations and facilities and equipment. (3)The equipment provided for men’s groups and mix groups are better than those provided for women’s groups. (4)Men’s Group A and Women’s Group A receive more administrative support than Women’s Group B gets; Men’s Group A, Men’s Group B and Women’s Group A have better equipment than Women’s Group B does; the management of athletic teams in Men’s Group A and Women’s Group A is better than in Women’s Group B.
