I have some time on my hands and am considering doing a coaching course. My question is, is there any money to be made or do people just do it as a part time thing ? Also, as I understand it, the first level of coaching means I can only assist another coach, is this something that's difficult to get involved in and what sort of timeframe am i looking at to progress to the next level of coaching ? I'm from North London and there seems to be a real shortage of coaches for beginners around here. I've played with a few coaches and their standards seem to vary from ok-club-players to England-over-60 players. I'm a better player than most of them but a few are way out of my league and at 40 years old I can't see me ever being that standard, will that have any bearing on what I can do as a coach ? Thanks for taking the time to read this and any advice is greatly appreciated.
