Answer 1

Apply at schools that have teams. Apply with city recreation centers. Check into CYO leagues, etc. Often the coaches positions are filled by teachers, but there is a need that sometimes cannot be filled by teachers. At my school in order to coach a sport you had to play it in high school.

How to: coach a new starter

Having to look after a brand new recruit who’s straight out of school or college may seem like a tiresome extra burden. You might even feel your boss can be accused of dereliction of duty, as you already have pressing job responsibilities and study obligations. Yet coaching can be immensely satisfying. Successful coaching will give you valuable experience, enhancing your CV and preparing you for leadership on a greater or more formal scale.

What is coaching?
While conventional trainers focus on delivering instruction and imparting knowledge, coaches assume a collaborative ‘hands-on’ approach. As well as the more intimate, one-to-one relationship that coaching nurtures, this means that even those with only, say, a year’s work experience can become effective coaches. There are no lines to remember and no PowerPoint slides to create. Coaching is all about giving people the confidence and space to try things out for themselves, so that the knowledge of how to perform a task becomes embedded through practical experience. Your role is one of a mentor, ready to catch your trainee should he or she fall, but primarily concerned with empowering and encouraging.

How do I point out mistakes without upsetting the trainee?
The chances are you’ll recognise some of those mistakes, because you made them yourself when you first started. Empathise. Your relative seniority and your familiarity with other colleagues (including your own manager) will command a respect from the trainee that’s unlikely to be diminished by admissions of imperfection.

But rather than immediately taking corrective action, push your trainee to figure out where they went wrong for themselves. Ask questions that will lead to the right answer. This technique challenges trainees and helps them grasp the right way to do things more effectively.

How can I get my own job done at the same time?
The beauty of coaching is that you can leave your trainee to get on with it – after all, people rarely perform at their best if someone’s looking over their shoulder. Some of your own tasks that might have become routine (or even boring) may well represent important milestones on the learning curve for a new starter – freeing you for more demanding or enjoyable work. However, you can’t abdicate responsibility; you could be held accountable for mistakes arising from unreasonable or exploitative ‘delegation’. It is therefore in your interests – as much as your new protégé’s – that you coach conscientiously. Ethics has as much a place in training and development as it has in financial reporting.
