Personal Statement: A Career As A Softball Coach

Explanatory Writing By: Kyann Hays
In my future, I want to be a softball coach. But in order to be fulfilled with my job selection, I have to love the job and want to actually do the job that I want to do. Because if I do not love the job, I would have no reason to put effort to try and put into the job. And if I did not actually want to do the job, then I would not do it correctly or with passion.

The reason I want to be a softball coach, is because I love the sport. I have played the sport for as long as I can remember, and I do not want to ever not be doing something that involves softball. So because I love softball, I would be able to put as much into coaching the sport as when I was playing the sport. It would not be me just coaching the sport because I had nothing else to do or to be.

So you would have to be interested in the sport before you even started thinking of wanting to coach. Because if you do not feel like coaching is what you want to do, or coaching that sport is not what you want to do. Then you will not use all of what you know and can do to help the people you are coaching.

And last of all, if you do not know what you are doing. Then you are not benefiting yourself or the people you are coaching/teaching. Even if you have only a little bit of knowledge about the sport, you would still have at least some knowledge. And having a little knowledge is better than none at all. Because if you have no knowledge of what you are doing, you are letting yourself down by failing at doing what you are supposed to be doing. And you are also letting the people you are coaching down because they are wanting to get better and you can not help
