In many states you do not have to attend any particular school to become a coach.  You can be a lay-coach which is someone that has not attended a college or university and recieved a teaching certificate.  In many states you have to take a few classes, first aid, care and prevention of athletic injuries, theory of coaching, etc.  In order to become a coach.  Any university that offers a degree in education would work, but in many cases is not necessary.

Ian Thorpe never finished Year 12 at school.  He completed year 10 by correspondence and focused himself entirely on his swimming.  I'm sure he could pull some strings to get into a college, but if he could not he would have to complete another two years of school. I don't think he will ever go to college because of the amount of options he has and the amount of money he makes.

Congratulations! Well you can contact any major local company and ask them if they will be willing to sponsor you. We wrote a letter to Georgia paper and they sent us a check for $2500. I know that it only puts a small dent in the large expense. The other thing you can do is contact your state officers they might be able to work some thing out. Georgia FBLA pays for every thing maybe your state will do the same. I know that your advisers had to go to some meetings in order to get some of the help for nationals. I wish that I could have the opportunity to see you compete but I moved to California so I could not go with our school. If you meet the girl from South Effingham high school from Georgia tell her good luck, it is her first year and first national competition.  Good Luck!!

I believe what you are seeking is a coach?  It's very hard to even understand your English enough to conclude what sport it is you wish to compete in.  Riding something, I gather?  And you need a sponsor for financial support?  Also, not knowing where you are located isn't helping, either!  Try to give a little more information, clearly, and perhaps someone can assist you. Good luck!

You should DEFINITELY join! I have been swimming for a long time but i have also done other sports too. Swimming is definitely the hardest. You will have to work hard but don't even worry about your times compared to other people. You can't compare yourself to people who have been swimming longer than you. You should join your team and then focus on improving for yourself and work on beating your own times instead of other people's. It doesn't matter what other people are doing, just focus on improving for yourself.

I think that your best bet is to go to the USTA site or call their offices and they will tell you where to go from there.

There is no such thing as a professional swimmer.  International level swimmers earn money through sponsorships (i.e., Speedo pays them for wearing Speedo gear and gives them free gear), endorsements (i.e., representing Speedo at events and on tv) and for doing advertisements (i.e. being on the Wheaties box and being in commericals).  Olympic swimmers also sometimes earn extra money from their countries for each medal they receive.  Each gold medal is worth something, each silver, each bronze, etc.  This payoff varies from country to country, and yes, the U.S. does pay the athletes for winning medals.  Sponsors also sometimes payout more for winning events.  Fortunately, since swimmers don't receive salaries, it is free to live and train at the Olympic training center, and with some other clubs around the country.  And its usually not hard to find a job after their swimming career is over, being famous and having proven they are hard workers and good at time management goes a long way.

Hi Christina.  I am also looking at teaching jobs in other states.  Once you have researched the school district via website, learn all the application process from the human resources dept. and apply.  If you've applied online, you can still fax or send them a cover letter and resume.  Check out that state's Dept. of Education or state board of education for certification process.  If you are not certain you will move to that state, you should wait to file the certification papers; but if you have solid certification in your home state, you usually can be certified elsewhere and get a 1 yr. certificate until you take the required tests.  The only bummer now is that some schools won't even consider you because you don't have their state certification right now and it will take 3 or more months to get it.  If there are many available candidates, you have to try to sell yourself above the others.  Will you be able to visit that state?  You could set up a few dates about 2 weeks in the future and write or call the schools to let them know you will be available to interview on those dates.\nAlso be sure to research the state "mastery" or no child left behind assessment that state uses to show you know the objectives and can teach to prepare kids for those tests.\nGood luck!\nMJ

You have to submit your degree to a service that will check your degree to see that it is equivalent to one in the United State. They are called Foreign Credential Services.Start at a site like www.naces.org. Click on current members. That's a good place to start. There are a lot of companies out there and there is a fee. Good Luck!!  It can be done.

Talk to your old coach and let him know that you are interested in coaching.  He may have a spot for you wherever he is now or he may talk to someone else and tell them about you.  He will also be able to tell you what you need as far as your degree is concerned.  Good luck!
