I think you just have to have a Bachelor's Degree(4-year) from college, and it can be from any subject, but I would recommend criminal justice. There will be  extensive background checks and psychological testing, and some sort of physical fitness requirements.

You will need a little experience first.  England will be looking for a new coach after the World Cup but that job will ensure that you never coach a national side again LOL

I think you can if you know enough about the sport. If you don't know enough about the sport, you won't be able to coach effectively. Although playing the sport is helpful to coaching, it is definitely plausible for someone who doesn't play professionally to coach well.

To teach Phys. Ed. you need a 4 year bachelor's degree, usually in the field of Kinesiology and Physical Education. Phys. Ed. teachers teach different things depending on the state and grade level. At the lower level (elementary) you will see a lot of fundamental motor skill practice such as throwing, kicking, locomotor movements, etc. As students get older they start to get more into the team sports usually. Also, PE teachers usually relate health and fitness related benefits to their class.

it depends on your state but for the most part you need a masters in school counseling, or guidance counseling. through your degree you will work to meet certification req. for the state. i was about to do the program and decided not to. either way you need more than a bachelor's degree.

Absolutely. Any degrees or experience will help over nothing at all. Some life coaches start out as counselors with no degrees whatsoever, but have the experience. Anything that gives you an edge, like your B.A. will help. Good luck!

You need four years of an undergraduate degree. A Masters degree can take one or two years if you go to school full time.

It sounds as if you know what your passion is, and that's fundamental.  What about taking part-time courses to further a career in Managing a team?  Or Transportation of a team?  Even Appointment Secy/Mgr.  Coaching/asst. coaching.  Find out the different positions that are available and directly involved, and talk to a human resources person (There's another position!) about your goals. They might have suggestions for both the positions you'd be qualified for and what type of certification/education might be helpful.  GO FOR IT!

In order to become a certified athletic trainer, you first must attend a college or univeristy with an accreditated athletic training education program.  These programs are usually four years to complete and involve classroom instruction (classes such as anatomy, physiology, taping, injury evaluations, etc.) as well as clinical experiences gained while working with various sports teams.  The clinical experience part is the most rewarding yet most time consuming part, since you will have to be at most if not all practices and games for that team.  Once you have successfully graduated, you have to sit for a national certification exam consisting of three parts (written, situtations, and oral practical) and successfully pass all three parts in order to become certified.  It's definetely a lot of hard work, but in the end it is definetely worth it!

To become a high school bball coach you have to talk to the school and see if they need any coaches. Then you will probably have an interview, then you could get hired & it depends on where your area is on how much you get paid. Dont know bout coaching classes in college

Which would be better for you?\n\nI would very strongly recommend not going straight to post grad work after getting your BA or BS. \nIf you go to the Division I school just for football, please contact the sports department to see if you are eligible.  Maybe starting work on a second BA or BS degree would be your best option.

If you look at who has these jobs it is apparent that with all the other requirements, you need to be a jock who was then able to become a coach. Otherwise the odds are very much against you.
