College Coach
A position as a college coach is many times the highest position within that sport for coaching. Many larger institutions have coaches and assistant coaches who just coach. Some smaller institutions or non-revenue generating sports have coaches who may also teach on campus. Winning is the key to longevity in this field. The main responsibility of a coach is to recruit the athletes and prepare them for competition. If these are not done properly, then it is obvious through the win/loss record. It may appear to be rather harsh, but it is a reality of the profession. To get a college coaching position, one usually has competed at that level before. It is also necessary to have a degree and in most cases a graduate degree. If you are looking at coaching position with a major sport, then you better have a good record as well. Experience. A degree in education, sports administration and a master's degree where teaching school is required. Resume Builders. It helps to have experience. Start out as an athlete, move into coaching the high school level, jr. college level, assistant coach at a small college, head coach ( small college ) then you are ready for positions at one of the major institutions. Salary Ranges. From intro. $20,000, average, $35,000, to the top, $1,000,000 plus.
