4. Dear Coach,
It is with great consideration I am writing you to be a member on your staff as an Assistant Coach-
Defensive Backs. I am currently pursuing a M.S. in Sports Management and currently possess a B.S. in
Kinesiology. I have enjoyed five years in the coaching field. I am currently a Student Advocate/Computer
Applications Teacher and an Assistant Coach at Darlington High School in Darlington, South Carolina. I
am enthusiastic and prepared to contribute my work ethic and passion of the game of football to your
program.
Some of my past experiences in my previous position include coaching defensive backs, scout-team
(special team), video producing/editing, and playbooks (Playmaker Pro and PowerPoint). Nonetheless,
with my experience, I am confident I can be an asset to your program.
During my two years at Charleston Southern University (CSU), I was able to learn the importance of
teamwork, perseverance, and communication through being a part of the CSU football team. After being a
part of such a rich tradition, I pride myself in dedication and hard work.
As a team member of your program, I can provide:
Efficiency; reliability; and accuracy within all aspects of coaching.
Maturity; honesty; and ability to look at challenges as opportunities.
Knowledge of the coaching field and the daily routine of the football office.
I am enthusiastic about exploring opportunities with your football football program and look forward to
meeting with you. I will call or e-mail you next week to follow up; perhaps we could arrange a meeting to

Sincerely,

7. Coaching Philosophy
Coaching isn’t a job or career, coaching is a lifestyle. The ability to
influence young men and help them become better members of
society overshadows the X’s and the O’s. Coaching is a “Ministry
of the Cap & Whistle”. I have a passion for developing the man,
not just the player.
In addition, I strive in always being a student of the game. There is
always a better way to get the job done!
