My dream job

My dream job is to be a college baseball, tennis, or goalie coach for soccer. I've always liked baseball and it has been my favorite sport to watch growing up. I know a lot about the sport, the mechanics, and what to do in certain situations. I like the idea of managing an entire team and being in control of it. I want to make the decisions of when to take the pitcher out of the game and pinch hitters and runners.

I'd also want to be a college tennis coach because I love playing tennis and it is the sport I know the most about. Being a tennis coach doesn't really require as much involvement I think as other sports, which is upsetting, you just send your six best out there and hope they win. I've had a little experience in coaching some tennis players from my high school, running their practices, and showing them the basics.

I would also be a goalie coach for soccer if I got the chance. This may be more of a side job, but I would still like to do it at some point in my life. Training goalies is something I have done since my Junior year in high school. I have trained multiple goalies from my high school as well as a few other local high schools. I enjoy training goalies and making them better, which is exactly what a goalie coach on a collegiate level would do.

I would equally enjoy being a tennis or a baseball coach later in life. I feel as if I could start off at a goalie coach at some larger high school or club and then switch to baseball or tennis if I want to. I want to be a coach because I want to see people improve in the sport.
