2 sports training professional employment direction

Direction 1: physical education teaching

The main work units of physical education teaching are all kinds of public or private primary and secondary schools, ordinary colleges and universities, institutions of higher learning and education and training institutions. Physical education teachers in public schools are professional. Although the salary is not as high as that in private schools, the welfare benefits are better. Private schools are not established, and wages are generally higher. Because the teaching level of private schools is closely related to the survival of schools, schools generally have higher requirements for teachers. If you work in a private school, your friends can get faster career growth and accumulate teaching experience as soon as possible, which is conducive to career development.

Ordinary colleges and universities now require teachers to have a master's degree, but some colleges and universities will also accept undergraduate graduates. Interested friends can choose colleges, or take the postgraduate entrance examination, and strive to stay and teach after graduation.

Direction 2: Fitness instructor

In recent years, fitness instructors are increasingly favored by people, because fitness instructors can provide more professional guidance to customers and help them achieve their fitness goals under reasonable arrangements. The job of a fitness instructor is to tailor a fitness program according to the physical condition and fitness needs of customers and guide them to exercise correctly. Fitness coaches also need to promote and sell a series of fitness products to customers, which is also part of the income source of fitness coaches.

Friends majoring in sports training have great professional advantages when applying for the position of fitness coach. Compared with other majors, we know more about sports training, master the basic knowledge of sports medicine, and can correctly handle some situations that may occur during fitness. Fitness coach is a job that needs to deal with people. To do this job, a friend must have good communication skills. In addition, no matter what kind of work, responsibility, dedication and team consciousness are very important.

If you want to be a fitness instructor, don't forget to take the social sports instructor grade certificate, which is the qualification certificate for sports jobs stipulated by the State Sports General Administration and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. With this certificate, we will be more competitive when looking for a job.

Direction 3: Competitive sports

Competitive sports is a very suitable employment direction for our sports training major. Friends can be referees and assistant coaches of sports teams in clubs, companies specializing in sports events and cultural communication companies involving sports.

For the referee, the most important thing is to have a good character and adhere to the principle of justice. Referee's job requires friends to have good communication and coordination skills, organization and flexibility, and be able to judge the game independently. It is suggested that the friends get the referee grade certificate, which will add a lot to the job search.

We just graduated with little work experience, and the employer will not let us directly take on the job of coaching sports teams. Therefore, we should start from the assistant coach, do some work within our power, and be familiar with and learn from the coach's work.

As assistant coaches, the friends also have a lot to deal with, mainly responsible for the scientific research of sports teams; Training, testing and evaluation guidance; Collection and technical analysis of competition videos; The establishment of expert team and the maintenance of software system and hardware equipment. Assistant coaches may need to travel frequently, but they are very happy to do what they like. Moreover, after the training of assistant work, our working ability will be greatly improved. What's the point?

Assistant coaches should have certain analytical skills, strong execution, quick response, strong expression skills, strong communication skills and affinity. If the friends have these abilities, they must try boldly.

Direction 4: Sports management

Sports management in state-owned enterprises and institutions is relatively stable. Our sports training major can be responsible for training team service, athlete registration, youth training, scientific research and competition organization in the competition department, and can also handle some paperwork, such as data collation.

There are two main development routes for this job. First, while doing a good job, small partners should handle the relationship with colleagues and superiors and strive for upward promotion; The second is to find ways to transfer to other systems, such as going to primary school as a physical education teacher. This kind of work generally requires us to take the local examination of public institutions or civil servants, and friends should pay attention to the relevant information dynamics.

Direction 5: Sporting goods sales

Sporting goods are mainly sold in sports shoes and online lottery tickets. Friends can be sales representatives, salesmen or marketing positions in such companies engaged in sporting goods sales.

Under the background of "internet plus", some sporting goods enterprises have developed to the Internet, transforming from traditional sporting goods enterprises to sports+Internet service enterprises. It is suggested that friends seize this opportunity to engage in online sales in the sporting goods industry and accumulate experience in e-commerce sales, so that when new opportunities arise in the future, they can be fully prepared and become professionals.
