I'm currently a sophopmore at the University of Iowa, where I am going into education. Over the past four years I have coached four AAU basketball teams, and assited in coaching four years worth of AAU baseball. I very much want to coach at the varsity level in high school after college. My question is this, What would be the best way to go aobut this?
I am not currently on a baseball team (I was on a college team, but transfered) I am going to attempt to walk on here, but wasn't sure if this was going to be a crutch to my chances (how likely would a applicant with no college playing under his belt be to get a varsity baseball or basketball for that matter coaching job)
Also what education wise should I be pursuing, in order to better my chances? What should I be doing after college to help solidify my chance of getting a job also? Should I start out by trying to get a job as a freshman coach, or maybe a sophomore coach? how does this work?
Thanks in advance. Any advice would be great!
