Start A Sports Coaching Business

Sports coaching is a fast-growing industry in all areas of the world. If you have a sports coaching qualification and experience, you can turn those experiences into a profitable business. You can offer coaching to teams or individuals depending on your preference and the nature of sports. You may join sports associations or attend networking events to market your sports coaching abilities.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a sports coaching business:

1. Girl Boss Sports ($57.1K/year)

Sarah Wolfer (from Mariánské Lázně, Northwest, Czech Republic) started Girl Boss Sports over 4 years ago.

Revenue
$4.76K / month
Team
1 founders / 1 employees
Location
Mariánské Lázně, Northwest, Czech Republic

Case Study

My name is Sarah Wolfer and I am the CEO and Founder of Girl Boss Sports. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old and coaching soccer since I was 14. I played collegiately and semi-professionally and have coached at all levels from ages 2-22 including at the collegiate level. Most recently I switched sports and have begun playing professional tackle football with the Oregon Ravens who are part of the Women’s National Football Conference. I am also a licensed mental health therapist part-time as I build up my business.

Since starting Girl Boss Sports, I have hired over 20 women to become soccer coaches in the Greater Seattle area - this clearly shows that the common myth that “there are no women interested in or qualified to coach” is in fact false. In addition, we have brought in an average of $4700 of revenue per month over the last 6 months, partnered with over 10 other companies or organizations to work toward the same 2 goals mentioned above, and have worked with hundreds of athletes and teams in the Greater Seattle area.
