For those of you who are or have been coaches or those of you that have a fair idea of the life of a triathlon coach, a few questions:
- How many hours a week would you be "working" (writing programs, replying to emails, one on one coaching, training sessions, etc)?
- How many athletes can one coach actually have on their register and devote enough time to please all of them?
- What would be a typical annual income from having your own coaching business and running it full time?
- Do you need to work elsewhere to supplement the triathlon coaching income?
- Would you recommend it at a career choice to support a wife and two kids? (as opposed to pulling in a full time corporate salary)
- Do you get the same satisfaction of coaching from working full time and limiting yourself to coaching only a handful of athletes in your spare time that you would from being a full time coach?
This would be for your typical coach that coaches age group athletes rather than an internation official coach training pro athletes.
