Advancement Prospects
Advancement opportunities for both instructors and coaches depend on the individual's skills, willingness to learn, and work ethic. A sports instructor’s success can be measured by their students’ caliber of play and the number of students they instruct. Successful instructors may become well known enough to open their own schools or camps, write articles and books, or produce how-to videos.
