The Work

You could be:

  • working with schools, community groups or competitive sportspeople and teams
  • working with individuals or with teams, depending on the sport
  • planning programmes of training to meet performance targets, combining practice on the field with watching videos of games and discussions of good play
  • watching participants training, correcting their mistakes and giving advice and encouragement
  • helping players train safely and, if necessary, working on recovery programmes for injured players, including working with other specialists such as physiotherapists
  • fostering good team spirit among the players
  • monitoring the physical and psychological condition of each player and advising on nutrition
  • attending competitions
  • helping to look for possible sponsorship deals. 
  • Pay

    The figures below are only a guide. Actual pay rates may vary, depending on:

    • where you work
    • the size of the company or organisation you work for
    • the demand for the job.

    In a full time job you might earn £16,000 to £35,000 a year. Recent vacancies for sports coaches in Scotland have been at £9 to £16 an hour. Some self-employed coaches earn much more than this as they build up a reputation and a client group.
