The glamour of sports coaching jobs for Olympic stars or Premiership footballers are what attracts many people to the industry - this includes life or executive coaches too!.
As a sports coach you have to be dedicated, patient and incredibly supportive. At times coaching jobs can be a series of thankless late nights in the rain.
As sports have been thrown more and more into the spotlight, so sports coaching jobs have become more widespread and essential. The positive side of this influx of money is that there has been more funding put towards professional sports coach roles. Even with this increase of coaching funds, there are still few top level jobs and the competition can be fierce.
In order to get greater success, you will need a strong, accredited coaching qualification. However if you want a good sports coaching job, it is advised to have a number of vocational qualifications, a degree, a masters and possibly a PHD. In addition to this education, it is important to travel worldwide to attend lectures. You'll also find it useful to work in conjunction with other professional colleagues such as masseurs, nutritionists as well as doctors.
For sports coaching jobs, it's also important to determine the age range you want to work with as working with younger clients can work well in conjunction with sports development job roles. Many universities and colleges work with top level sports teams especially ones that target specific industries or sports at the masters and PHD level.
