Gazza_8 233 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 So SA, what exactly does your job entail? Telling players they're better than they are? BTW, I think you did the right thing in applying. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 So SA, what exactly does your job entail? Telling players they're better than they are? BTW, I think you did the right thing in applying. Mainly the physical preparation of the players. Writing training programmes. Weight lifting sessions, field based training sessions. Speed and agility training. Performance testing. Maybe nutrition and sports psychology although they may very well have experts, particularly in the latter. As a rough guide anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 So basically you're a fitness instructor who should be employed in a council run sports centre? :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cushty work doing it at Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Been in contact with a few sports clubs in my area (moved back home earlier this month as lease on my falt was up). Watford and Reading didn't even acknowledge my emails London Irish and Wasps RFCs have responded to me today. Also emailed MK Dons and will try a few others. None of them are officially looking at the minute, but I started off with mainly voluntary work with Falkirk before getting a few regular hours each week. The voluntary stuff grates on you after a while, but with moving to a new area gonna have to do something like this to make new contacts and keep myself in the induustry. Will look better on my cv applying for FT positions if I can show i've still been doing relevant work (even voluntary) in the interim. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Voluntary work can work if you manage to talk to the right people and get on with them. If not then, as you said SA it can be a huge ball buster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having now gotten a bit of paid work working with Falkirk and the SRU will be irk me having to give up my time for free. But then if it helps my chances of getting paid work with one of these clubs it's worth it I guess. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 You should start up your own football team and give yourself the post of PE instructor. Problem solved! Just an idea. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
