Sports Instructors work primarily in community centers and recreational facilities, teaching both team sports and individual sports to children and teenagers in minor scholar leagues or adults. They also often work as personal trainers or coaches for fitness clubs, private companies, and even sports teams. 
  
A career as a Sports Instructor can be both rewarding and challenging. On the one hand, you can share your love of sports with others and help them improve their physical fitness and athletic ability. On the other hand, working with people of all ages and abilities can be demanding, and you must be able to manage your time and resources effectively. 
  
Sports Instructors use their expertise in a specific athletic discipline to impart knowledge and demonstrate the basic principles, fundamentals, and techniques of the sport(s) they teach. Some fields require special equipment handling expertise, especially for scuba diving instructors and equestrian activity coaches, where the 'equipment' is a living, breathing animal that requires special care and maintenance for clients' safety. 

Personality of a Sports Instructor
Sports Instructors have a few common personality traits that help them succeed in their job. Here are a few of them:  

• They are friendly and approachable

Sports Instructors are some of the friendliest people. They also tend to have an excellent sense of humor. They enjoy working with people and helping them to improve their fitness levels. Sports Instructors are also very organized and can keep track of many different things at once. They have to be able to think on their feet and come up with new ideas to keep their classes interesting. 
  

• They are patient teachers

Sports Instructors aim to improve their students' fitness or skill levels in particular sports and activities. One of the most important qualities of a successful sports instructor is patience. Working with athletes of all levels - from beginner to elite - can be very challenging and requires a lot of time and effort. It also means that they may need to adapt their instructional methods constantly.  
  

• They are goal-oriented

Goals are essential for Sports Instructors because they provide a sense of purpose and motivation. Without goals, it can be easy to become bogged down in day-to-day activities and lose sight of what you are working towards. Striving to achieve specific goals can help keep them focused and on track when working to progress the skills of their clients. They are also good at organizing class materials and developing new ideas to keep their students engaged.
