Sports Coach.
Sports coaches help people participating in sports to improve their performance. Skills relevant to this position include coaching middle school sports teams in different sports within the athletics program, and helping students gain knowledge about the sport to enable them to improve and excel in their academic endeavours. Over the years I have coached and participated in a number of school and outside management of sports teams. I have constructed and designed interschool sport competitions, as well as designing sports activities for house points/groups. I continue to offer sports related activities for students outside of my scheduled teaching times, whether that be at recess or lunch breaks and assisting students to play sport with local teams in the area. Remembering, I have the ability to mould athletes from as early as their capable to perform.
