2. The demand for private coaching and sports instruction is at an all-time high
There's never been a better time to get involved in sports instruction and coaching. America is a sports-oriented nation; adults and children spend substantial time both watching and participating in sports.

  • American households with children spent an estimated $4.1 billion last year on sports instruction and private coaching.
  • Seven out of ten Americans participate in one or more sports, physical conditioning, and outdoor activities.
  • Today there are two-thirds more kids playing high school sports than just a generation ago.
Recent concern about youth obesity and inactivity has parents, teachers, and coaches looking for ways to improve the health of America's youth.

Parents also know that competence in sports can help improve self-esteem and enhance peer relationships.
