Ken’s Answer

The most important thing for you to consider is what career area might most suitable for your interests and personality traits. It takes a special person to enter into a specific career field and meet the demands which that career area presents. The first step is to get to know yourself to see if you share the personality traits which make one successful in that area. The next step is doing networking to meet and talk to and possibly shadow people doing what you might think that you want to do to see if this is something that you really want to do, as a career area could look much different on the inside than it looks from the outside. When I was doing college recruiting, I encountered too many students, who skipped these important steps, and ended up in a career/job for which they were ill suited. Keep in mind that the most effective means of creating and maintaining such networking is through communication means, such as in person conversation and phone conversations, which allow for the real time exchange of information through dialogue. Too many people are relying on such electronic means such as the internet and messaging, which only allow for disjointed one way communication, which is much less effective.

Ken recommends the following next steps:

The first step is to take an interest and aptitude test and have it interpreted by your school counselor to see if you share the personality traits necessary to enter the field. You might want to do this again upon entry into college, as the interpretation might differ slightly due to the course offering of the school. However, do not wait until entering college, as the information from the test will help to determine the courses that you take in high school. Too many students, due to poor planning, end up paying for courses in college which they could have taken for free in high school.
Next, when you have the results of the testing, talk to the person at your high school and college who tracks and works with graduates to arrange to talk to, visit, and possibly shadow people doing what you think that you might want to do, so that you can get know what they are doing and how they got there.

Locate and attend meetings of professional associations to which people who are doing what you think that you want to do belong, so that you can get their advice. These associations may offer or know of intern, coop, shadowing, and scholarship opportunities. These associations are the means whereby the professionals keep abreast of their career area following college and advance in their career.

It is very important to express your appreciation to those who help you along the way to be able to continue to receive helpful information and to create important networking contacts along the way.

Sunny’s Answer

Hello Fatiha,

First is like you said you are interesting in sport. When I was young I love to play sport a lot also such as basketball, football, volleyball, table tennis and badminton etc. But you have to know one thing really important is what you love to play with become to a job is totally different. Such as a sport teacher they are not just good at sport they also need to communicate with different students because teaching is not a easy thing for it. You have to spend a lot of time on it and focus on different thing you need to understand people their feeling. Or the other option ids like become a sport player. But also different you have to train really hard to get into the professional level. So I think is if you really like to do something please just ask yourself you just do it fo fun or you do it for the future for your good and if you feel that this is the thing I can do it for a long time so can give a try because you still young can try it even is not suscceful you still can find and other thing to try it. When you become 30 or even older and you start it to try it will be too late for it and good luck.

Dada’s Answer

Sports coaches are certified players who train players at schools, or coach district or national-level teams at sports associations, or set up their own sports academies. They design regular sports and exercise routines, select players for matches and tournaments, train teams and individuals and accompany them to sports events at all levels. Various levels of education include diploma, bachelor’s and master’s related to physical education. Several retired or even aspiring players work as coaches. most late bloomers in sports were playing pro level in some other sport before switching to the one that brought them fame. Consider Jimmy Graham who switched to football from basketball in his freshman year in college or Dhoni who switched from being a goalkeeper at his local football club to playing U-16 national level cricket. Even these rare stories culminate by the time the player is 16 or so.
By 18, a star is born! :)

Goodluck !
