Here is some food for thought.
Total Coaching Experience (Dates, places, other sports coached and position - head coach or assistant)
Coaching Responsibilities (Present and previous responsibilities - i.e. WR coach, DB coach, Special Teams Coordinator)
Administrative Responsibilities - do any of the following apply?
1. Complete administrative paperwork such as eligibility forms, team roster, locker lists, medical forms, insurance forms, permission forms
2. Correspond with parents, teachers, administrators, college coaches and other high school coaches
3. Assist head coach with checking players’ grades
4. Assist head coach with recruiting correspondence
5. Assist head coach in ordering, inventory, storing and dispersing new equipment
6. Attend league meetings and all-star meetings with head coach
7. Oversee practice when head coach is late or unable to attend
8. Deal with any football-related issues when head coach is unavailable
9. Assume the duties of the head coach if he is unavailable
Professional Organizations (i.e. AFCA, state and/or county coaches associations)
Coaching Achievements (honors/awards YOU have won, i.e. All-star games you were selected to coach, clinics you were selected to speak)
Philosophy
I. ACADEMICS
II. MORALITY / RESPONSIBILITY
III. SPORTSMANSHIP
IV. SUB-VARSITY PROGRAMS
Hopes this helps.....

Any suggestions on what you should put on a coaching resume? Some more specifics may help- depending on how much info you have to include. For example- what job are you trying to secure? Who will be doing the hiring? |

Mine has a section at the top with my degrees and teaching certificates. Then a list of my teaching positions, dates there and subjects taught. Then a list of my coaching positions, dates there and positions.
That takes up my first page. On my second page I have three professional references and three coaching references.
I’ve worked at 8 schools in five states with this format so either the resume works or I am good looking and smart enough to overlook the flaws. In all seriousness I think in general they just need enough information to know if you are qualified. Then they can get philosophy stuff or whatever else in interview.

Always assume the reader (HR person, coach, principal, etc..) will be reading a stack of 100+ of these. So when they sit down to sift through all this, they will be spending about 20-30 seconds reading yours and everyone else's at the most.
Make sure the 1st thing they read after your name is what they want.... not matter what that might be.
So to pony off that idea:
1- make sure you know what that person is looking for when they pick up your resume
2- the resume really doesn't matter a whole lot; it is who you get the call and talk to that person that can speak for you and can get them to re-read your resume

This was pretty much mine as well and I worked in 8 different schools as well, with 3 stints as a HC. |

I was told that a resume gets you the interview and the interview gets you the job, so make sure your resume presents you in the best light and then focus on the other stuff. It actually helped settle my nerves a bit because I was obsessing over the resume and realized it was good enough for the interview, thus allowing me to mentally move on.

Name Drop, Name Drop, NAME drop. Record at top and make it absurb like 116-8-1
Philosophy: you should be building trophy cases we are going to need them.
contract demands
a picture of your nuts attached.

As someone who has taken multiple interviews (with one coming up in an hour) (albeit not in a coaching environment), I look for a couple things in the resume:
What are this candidate's qualifications?
What roles has he/she taken on at which company in the past and for how long?
(a "role" is a title with maybe a description in a couple words, not a complete job description!!)
Get that communicated in a clear and concise way and if your qualifications and experience meet my expectations, we can talk.
A resume with all kinds of irrelevant information on it, actually turns me off and gives me a gut feeling that you may not be very efficient with you time, but "grind just to grind". I have found that to be accurate in the past.
I prefer to only contact the references after I had the first talk, so I can doublecheck specific things I noticed in the interview, rather than asking for a generic "is he/she any good?".
In other words, if you mention in your resume that references can be provided at/after our interview, I'm good with that. I can then ask a bit about the references themselves before I contact them and can ask for other references, if the suggestions wouldn't be able to provide the information I'm looking for.
Two caveats:
I'm in Europe, so interview etiquette may be different.
I've interviewed engineers, not coaches, so the subjects of the interviews are obviously different.

You better get someone to talk for you! I cant remember the last time I heard of a coach getting hired bc he had a good resume or interviewed well. It is all about who you know and what you have done and who you have done it with. NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK!!!!! just my 2 cents!

I agree with networking!! Getting started right out of college the resume is important. Once you get started the game is not about what you know, it's who you know. At every clinic you need to be networking as much as you are sitting in on the clinic talks.

I generally agree w/ this advice because it's been very consistent in my career. Haven't yet gotten a teaching or coaching job where there weren't pre-existing relationships in the building. |
