Good choice! Look at these three groups below. Which group would you enjoy the most?
I enjoy putting exercise programmes together and putting such programmes into action, showing individuals or groups of people how to do the exercises. I like motivating and using exercise to help people manage their health conditions or to increase their exercise or sports performances. It gives me lots of enjoyment when I can help others to improve their health or exercise/sports performance through my expert knowledge. I enjoy understanding the importance of nutrition and supplements to improve one’s health and sports performance.
I am interested in coaching individual sportspeople or sports teams. I prefer to work outdoors, compared to working inside an office at a desk. I enjoy coaching an individual sportsperson or a team and teaching them how to improve certain skills, which will also lead to their overall sports performance. I get enjoyment from effective communication and understanding its importance for sportspeople and teams of different age groups - and also how it can influence player- and team motivation as well as sports participation. It interests me to understand how coaching works and how I can use it in my daily coaching activities.
I enjoy administrative office-bound duties such as budgets, general admin and dealing with contracts related to sports and recreation. Activities such as promotions, networking and providing information to sports- councils, committees, communities, schools and local organisations are also of great interest to me. I would enjoy planning and organising events such as meetings, training sessions, coaching sessions, festivals and conferences. I want to provide helpful advice to sports clubs, organisations, and councils on issues such as funding, promotion and how the latest laws and regulations affect them. I want to be involved in growing and developing sports, sports facilities and sports training in local, regional, national or international communities.
