When you work as an amateur coach, even if coaching isn't your full-time job, the right resume can help you get a better coaching position. Just as is the case with any type of work, a candidate's resume is often the difference between getting in the door for an interview and being overlooked. If you feel confident coaching your team but lack confidence writing a professional-caliber resume, it's time to turn to a resume writing service. You'll get partnered with a skilled scribe who can take the details you provide and craft a resume that markets your skills effectively. Here are some important details to give your resume writer.

Coaching History

Your coaching history will make up a key part of your coaching resume. This history will show how you have progressed as a coach, perhaps starting several years ago with coaching young children at the house-league level and moving up to coach teenagers at the competitive level. Before you meet with your resume writer, make sure that you have a comprehensive list of all the coaching positions you've held. This list should include your specific role, the name and level of the organization, and the years you held this role for each coaching position you've had over the years.

Coaching Records

Sports organizations that are looking to hire coaches will want to know how a coach's teams have fared. This means that you'll need to provide your detailed coaching records for all the different teams that you've coached. For each season, include the record, where the team finished in the standings, and how the team fared in the playoffs. Your resume writer will compile this information into a clear list or chart that potential employers will be able to quickly scan to help evaluate your skill as a coach.

Accomplishments Of Your Athletes

A coach can be evaluated by more than just his or her team's statistics. Employers will also want to know how your athletes have performed away from their sport of choice. This is especially valuable at the youth level. Include a list of these accomplishments — for example, you could write that 18 of the players you've coached over the last three seasons have accepted NCAA Div. I scholarships or that three of your players over the last year were recognized by the league for being top scholar-athletes. Your resume writer can use these details to show that you're an effective leader and role model in matters beyond the Xs and Os of the games.
