A coach is an individual who helps persons participating in sports to help people participating in sports to advance and achieve their full potential. They do this by finding and creating training techniques to execute.
ReplyDeleteThe salaries for coaches vary depending mainly on location and qualification. I will elaborate on coaches' salaries in the UK. Newly qualified sports coaches working for the local authorities salaries may start at £15,000 to £25,000 per year.
Senior coaches employed by National Governing Bodies or professional sports clubs, may receive £30,000 to £35,000 in salary per year.
Experienced coaches working at the highest level may very well earn £100,000.
For professional sports, coaches earn certain bonuses, some based on accomplishments along with their basic salary.
Teaching licenses and bachelors degrees are educational requirements for high school coaches in most states in America. Coaches should also be trained in First Aid/CPR.
To gain experience before becoming a coach, individuals may want to play the sport and attend workshops. Also they should start out with mediocre jobs such as scoring and then work their way into being a coach. It is much easier to become a high school coach, but a high school coach can advance to being a college coach. The steps to become a college coach may involve the individual assisting a college coach. After college there are professional leagues that persons may take the same steps to become coaches.
In my research I have found that Sports is doing very well in general so the need for coaches is growing since their are more sports being introduced and more positions available. Online I have also found vacancies available for sports coaches. This means that their are many jobs available for persons wishing to become coaches.

ReplyDeleteMassage therapist
This is a skilled person with high knowledge and qualifications of how to massage their clients. They use smooth strokes on superficial layers of muscles using massage oil or lotion. This improve blood circulation thus aids in nutrients transport.
Salary:
Massage therapist as researched in Canada can be anywhere from 28,000 - 147,000 dollars in Canadian salary which is not bad at all.
Requirements:
one must show completion of a state-approved massage school or apprenticeship program.
career path:
most massage therapists concentrate on one or more of these, especially when starting out. Different types of massage are used to different ends; some are geared toward healing muscles, some toward easing stress, and others toward helping with specific physical ailments. While you can, and probably will, learn more than one massage style, it's a good idea to think about what you're most interested in so that you can be sure to get appropriate training, some such as:
Sports massage. This form of massage is designed to help athletes recover from injuries and everyday play, allowing them to perform at their physical best at the next game.
Clinical massage. This focuses on using massage to heal physical ailments. A thorough understanding of anatomy is required
Swedish massage. This is the most common type of massage, and is used for both healing and relaxation purposes.Deep tissue massage is a similar form of massage, but more pressure is exerted on the muscles.
future growth or decline in job:
sources show "The population is aging, and as seniors live longer and more active lives, they’ll turn to massage to ease aches and pains. The number of older Americans is skyrocketing, with 10,000 baby boomers a day turning 65 between 2011 and 2030. Plus, the U.S. population is growing. The Census Bureau forecasts 439 million Americans in 2050, up from 309 million in 2010. What’s more, as employers increasingly focus on wellness perks, they’re adding in-office massages for employees. There’s a caveat, though. Because most consumers don’t consider massages an essential expense, hard economic times can cut into therapists’ client bases and incomes."

A personal trainer is a fitness professional involved in exercise prescription and instruction. They motivate clients by setting goals and providing feedback and accountability to clients. Trainers also measure their client's strengths and weaknesses with fitness assessments.
ReplyDeleteA personal trainer will earn more money than a fitness instructor by a significant amount. The more experience that you gain and the more clients that you recruit, the more money you are likely to make. If you are employed in a gym setting, you will likely earn between £16k - £22k in your first year of employment. However, depending on the fitness facility and their arrangements, this figure can vary widely. If you are offering classes to multiple individuals, you may be able to increase your income by £20-£30 an hour.
There are no set education requirements for physical trainers, but many choose to pursue some type of formal education. Aspiring trainers may attend a specialized training program for personal trainers or earn a degree in exercise science, nutrition, kinesiology, physical education or a related field. A bachelor's degree in any of these areas will qualify a personal trainer for employment in most gyms.
Personal fitness training has become a popular profession; however, the decision to follow a career path in personal training should not be taken lightly. The industry can be highly competitive, and you must acquire a strong knowledge base as well as specific skills and abilities to be successful in the field.
he job market for personal trainers has an up side and a down side. The up side is that our obese and ailing society realizes a need for fitness and nutrition. For this reason, trainers are in greater demand than ever.T
he down side is that, in an ailing economy, many people simply can't pay for trainers and so many established trainers work fewer hours, or charge lower rates. However, projections for the growth of this industry, and jobs in it, are promising.

Olympian
ReplyDelete"an athlete who participates in the Olympic games"
---
Job Description:
Olympians make their living by competing in sporting competitions. If you really want to make it as an Olympian, you will need to compete at the highest level.
In order to do this, you will need to train, train and then train some more! Only a small part of a Olympians time is spent competing – the rest of the time is spent on the training ground or at the gym.
Becoming an Olympian is more of a lifestyle choice than a career. In order to be successful, you will need to keep your body in peak condition at all times, and you will constantly have to refine and develop your technique. You will need to manage your diet, train every day, and have serious amounts of drive and determination.
Olympians tend to work alongside a dedicated team of professionals in their hunt for glory, including teammates (if applicable), trainers, coaches, managers, nutritionists, physiologists and psychologists. However, some are independent and do not work in teams.
---
Salary:
There's no guarantee that being an Olympic athlete is particularly lucrative. In fact, according to CNN, some Olympians technically live under the poverty line.
But being an Olympic athlete with a medal is a different story: Many countries pay their competitors upwards of six-figure bonuses for bringing home the gold. Some countries like Kazakhstan pay their gold medalists $250,000. Other countries like Malaysia, which hasn’t seen a gold medal come home since 1956, guarantee their athletes a solid gold bar worth $600,000. But some countries like Great Britain — which doesn't pay their athletes at all — are not that generous.
"The United States Olympic Committee pays their gold medal athletes $25,000. That number hasn’t changed in a decade and with inflation that bonus value has actually dropped by over $5,000."
Great Britain doesn’t pay their Olympians who bring home a medal.
Being an Olympic athlete in Canada doesn’t really pay off. A gold medal is worth $17,900.

Education Requirements:
No specific education level is required to be an Olympian, but they are often discovered while competing in high school or college games. Most athletes learn about their sport and improve their athletic skills in school. It is a good idea for people interested in professional sports athletics to study weight training, nutrition and exercise selection. Overall, you just need to be exceptional at the sport, no education is truly need. However, in some countries, requirements are more stringent.

Future Growth/Decline in Job:
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov), the median salary for athletes and sports competitors was $40,060 annually as of May 2012, but top earners can make exponentially more than that. The number of jobs available for athletes and sports competitors, including Olympians, is expected to increase slower than the average in the coming years (seven percent between 2012-2022, according to the BLS), and competition for professional positions will be extremely fierce. Professional sports athletes must be among the best performers at their chosen sports to remain employed, and they often have brief careers. There is also the potential for a serious career-ending injury at any time

Job: Custodians (Maintenance Crew)
ReplyDeleteJob Description:
Custodians are those employed to clean and maintain buildings. Custodians clean and maintain offices, schools, retail stores, hotels and other public spaces. They sweep, mop and polish floors; gather and empty trash; clean and restock bathrooms; wash windows and order cleaning supplies. They can perform basic electrical repairs, such as replacing faulty switches, and plumbing tasks, such as fixing leaky faucets. Many may also work outdoors, such as when raking leaves or sweeping walkways. They use different manual tools, such as brooms, mops and shovels, and powered equipment, such as leaf blowers and floor polishers. Because they are often the last people to leave a building, they are responsible for keeping the premises secure.
Salary Range:
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, custodians earned an average $24,840 per year, or $11.94 per hour, as of May 2011. Their salaries ranged from less than $16,720 yearly, or $8.04 per hour, to higher than an annual $37,640, or $18.10 hourly. Over a third of the 2,068,460 janitors worked for services to buildings and dwellings, which provided custodian services to facilities with insufficient in-house resources. Average pay ran $22,320 per year, or $10.73 per hour. The highest means were in the Postal Service at $49,820 annually, or $23.95 hourly.
Education Requirements:
There are no educational requirements for becoming a building custodian. Most custodians are first hired to apprentice or train alongside an experienced custodian to learn the routines and operations necessary to keep a specific building clean. While most employers prefer that custodians have at least a high school diploma or the equivalent, this is not always the case.
Building custodians need to be in good physical condition, because much of the job is strenuous and requires long shifts of standing on their feet. They also need to be able to accurately follow directions and understand basic repair techniques. There is certification available through the Building Service Contractors Association International and the International Sanitary Supply Association.
Career Path:
Custodians with some experience, and who show administrative and organizational skills, can become supervisors with responsibility for the work of janitors and cleaners. They hire and train other cleaners, assign them tasks and locations, and prepare work schedules. They also meet with building occupants to determine what needs to get done, establish cleaning procedures, and maintain required records of work. ONET OnLine reports that more than half of janitorial supervisors had a high school diploma and that their median wages in 2011 were an annual $35,230, or $16.94 per hour.
Future Growth/Decline in Job:
As more companies outsource their cleaning services, cleaning or janitorial contractors are likely to benefit and experience employment growth. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics employment of janitors and building cleaners is projected to grow 12 percent from 2012 to 2022.

Sports Manager
ReplyDeleteA sports manager is someone that is hired by either a team or an individual athlete to ensure that everything that happens off the field goes smoothly. They have numerous responsibilities that revolve around making it easier for their clients to focus on winning without worrying about the business or organization side of sports. Managers ensure that their clients are getting the proper attention and training to allow them to compete at their highest level.

The BLS predicts that the employment of such workers will likely grow by about 14% between 2010 and 2020.
Many sports managers have a college degree in a field that is related to managing, such as a business, marketing, or law degree. Many sports managers have to start with an internship with the organization and work their way up to managing. Often experience within the sport is a big help, as many former athletes go on to manage after their playing days are through. There are some colleges that offer master's degrees in sports management and this is obviously a large advantage in getting a job (www.ehow.com). To become a sports manager it is important to have a good business sense and the ability to communicate and negotiate in serious discussions about big issues.

SPORT PSYCHOLOGIST
ReplyDeleteThe description of a Sport psychologist is the concern with the behavior, mental process, and the wellbeing of an individual or the whole sports team. Sport psychologists work with athletes and teams involved in sport from amateur to elite professional level, with the aim of helping them deal psychologically with the demands of the sport and to improve their personal development and performance.
The salary of a Sport Psychologist depending on location, estimates indicate that sport psychologists in university athletic departments can earn $60,000 to $80,000 a year; the highest salaries can exceed $100,000 annually.
Sport psychologist’s needs to enroll in a clinical or counseling doctoral program, and then take additional classes in kinesiology, physiology, sports medicine, business and marketing to gain a degree and get a proper job.
All sport psychologists require a number of years of university training and specialized practical experience to be able practice as a sport psychologist. The minimum education level required is a 4-year degree majoring in psychology from an accredited Australian university. Once you have graduated from a recognized university with such a degree, there are then two pathways to be coming a registered psychologist
The pros of being a Sport psychologist is that working is not from a deficit; you're working on how these clients can use everything they have; that's why it's important for sport psychologists to care for their own emotional health while they care for the players.
The cons of being a Sport psychologist is that working with clients who want to excel is the challenge; is that some clients want to run at cheetah-like speeds or bend at severe angles before they're ready; it can have ethical pitfalls — maintaining confidentiality for example. "If the performance venue is the only place I can counsel an athlete, what if ABC is taping while we have that conversation?"; sometimes a sport psychologist has the difficult job of counseling a student athlete who wants to quit the team despite the coach's opposition; being on the road with a team also means little time to relax and unwind.
