Youth sailing coach - looking for feedback
Posted by TheWanderMom@reddit | sailing | View on Reddit | 2 comments
I am part of a sailing club in a warm weather remote location. Our regular coach is on a leave- I am wondering if there are any youth sailing coaches who are available for short term fill in during the winter? I’m thinking someone who has a full time remote job but can work after school and on Saturdays, or could be a retired person or a new college grad who wants to spend a little time in a tropical area during the winter.
If you are a youth coach - is this something that would appeal to you? I am trying to get feedback to see if this might be a popular option for coaches with the ability to travel last minute before we put a lot of time in.

Is there a student you can promote to teacher? Some research suggests that kids learn better from instructors closer to their age.

I coached youth for 15 years, full time for a good chunk of that.
Are you providing or paying for housing? If not, then I would have never considered this for even a second. If yes, I still probably wouldn’t have because it sounds like you aren’t going to pay enough/give enough hours for it to be worth it.
You are better off finding someone locally who wants a part time coaching job, or if you really need a coach year round, hire your regular coach full time year round with a salary and benefits.
