Straight forward questions about interactions within coaching and how one would navigate different scenarios. Showcase strong communication skills and willingness to adapt to the unknown. Went through a trial run coaching session to see how training would be like and was able to get hands on experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you go about engaging a child who may not be interested in playing the games during your session.
I applied online. I interviewed at Soccer Shots (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Phone interview, then in-person interview with the owner. Quite direct and transparent when it comes to the nature of the job. Soccer ability is not the most important vs. childcare ability.
Online process at first, then quick to get started. The communication lacked after the initial part once getting started. Met a few coaches and some didn't seem too friendly of the system. Entire team lead is remote.
On the field, questions mainly centered on children safety. Role playing at end. Not too much about soccer itself, very focused on how you provide a good experience to kids.
