sports coach

Project-Sport

my usual day at work will consist of going to a primary school over the lunch hour where I will play various sport activities with the children e.g football game. I also will teach P.E lessons which I mainly teach the dance side of this job where I will teach the children how the body can move in different ways and how they can connect to the music through movement and feeling. I also take after school clubs which can vary from different sports depending on what club the school is wanting for example it may be multi sports, dodgeball, boxercise etc.
This job is extremely enjoyable as you can have so much fun in your sessions with the children and also this increases your confidence 100 times more. Overall this is something i am very happy to be a part of! I enjoy going to work everyday and look forward to the day ahead.

A typical day at work will include doing two sessions a day at lunchtime and after school, often only knowing what school you will be at the day before leaving not much time to plan a session or sort out transport if you cannot drive. I have learnt how to deal with a number of different children from the ages of 4-13 and helped them become better at sports and working as a team, this is the most enjoyable part of the job. The hardest part of the job is often dealing with the poor management and how the company is run. There isn't much in terms of workplace culture apart from the fact there seems to be a divide between the full-time staff and part-time staff, with the full-time staff often being invited on company meals and activities at no cost to them.

A typical day invovled mainly just coaching KS2 children. I learned coaches are not allocated correctly and the company is money driven and employ young and or in experienced staff. There was no workplace culture and the hardest part of the job was planning sessions but the schools didnt have the equipment. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with yoiung people.

No Fixed Hours and no consistency in jobs for example each week you will go into different schools meaning some days you might only have an hour and the next you have a full day in a school. Don't really feel part of a team

would spend 2 hours per day working with kids during lunch time and afterschool. was a fun place to work and paid well. However 2 hours a day is not adequate to be able to save money

passive management that can be a double edged sword as long as you do what is needed they will leave you alone . however not ideal for development if that 

The company as a whole is fantastic, all the coaches work hard ever day and are wiling to work extra hard in order to coach the kids to the best of their ability.
