My former assistant coach was a terrific runner himself and had a real passion for coaching too. He majored in communication (basically went to school to run).
He's now going on thirty, quit coaching, working part time at a running store and basically doing absolutely nothing with his life.
Advice to people: find a different passion to earn income and don't become a loser like my ex-coach.
Naturally, the only retail experience you can think of is Walmart.
wow
It can be very difficult for school trainers to get the most out of an athlete and show the result. Students always think about studying. Give them a website https://businessays.net/samples/mn/leadership/ let it help them with their studies. And you can see them focused.
What do you do ON THE SIDE!? Homeboy, coaching at the high school level IS a side job!
I know this is 6 years old but still a funny question.

If coaching is your passion, don't waste your time at the high school level. Go right into it as a grad student and work your way up through the college ranks.
College coaching has always seemed like it has a terribly gloomy ratio of actually coaching to "other" work. I'm not sure if I'd be satisfied with a job like that. It also seems -very- risky. I've heard that coaches can be fired after their first year or two for bad performances. Is this true? I'm not so sure that that position would be best for me.
This is a silly reason to not want to coach in college. The "other" work you're doing is planning trips to competitions, recruiting visits, and all other things applicable to your team only. This is a great job and if you have to do a little extra work so be it.
