Sports coach | Consultant | Personal trainer

If you don’t fancy being a sportsperson yourself, you could be well-suited to training others in a particular discipline.

Many coaches and trainers were once sportspeople themselves, but this isn’t always the case. If you have expert knowledge of a sport and have good communication skills, you could have a rewarding career coaching other people.

To become a coach, you’ll likely need to have good passes at GCSE and A-Level, ideally in Physical Education. You’ll also need to gain coaching certificates in your particular sport.
