Hello everyone, I've been teaching at a local recreational gym since I was fifteen, I'm now nineteen and realized that I really enjoy teaching and am set on making it a career.
I have one slight problem, while I have a passion for coaching and have been to many regional congresses and listened to many speakers, I am not a gymnast/ex-gymnast. Would not being a gymnast or an ex-gymnast cripple my chances of being hired at a competitive gym? I am even willing to go so far to double major in Kinisieology and/or Physics (even though i HATE math!) if it would help - however I would like to know from coaches who are already there what their opinions on this issue are
Summary: Want to make coaching a career. Never was a gymnast, but have been teaching for four years at a rec gym. What are my chances, and how can I improve them?
Thanks a ton in advanced!
