Coaching Interview Prep Guide

The job is yours to lose. Most candidates walk into a coaching interview with a generic resume and a hope. The ones who get hired walk in with a plan — a complete, professional package that shows the athletic director they're ready for the position before they ever say a word.

This guide gives you that package. A coaching-specific resume template that leads with your philosophy and experience instead of generic work history. A four-paragraph cover letter framework built around what ADs actually want to read. A complete Program Vision Statement covering 11 categories from culture and academics to game day operations and the all-important 90-day plan — the document that separates you from every other candidate in the room. 27 of the most common coaching interview questions organized by category, with space to write and rehearse your answers. And a clean professional references template to round out your package.

Print it. Bring it. Hand it to the AD. While the other candidates are talking about why they want the job, you'll be showing them exactly how you'll do it.
