Dear Hiring Manager,

As an Assistant Track Cross Country Coach with 10 years of coaching and teaching experience, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

In my current role as Assistant Track Cross Country Coach at Elite Academy, I instruct 100 students in the basic skills, strategies, and training necessary to realize individual and team success. Mirroring your requirements, my curriculum strives to instil sportsmanship, goal setting, integrity, self-discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence in each individual. 

Furthermore, I create and promote events for the after-school track program, which create a sense of school spirit and community between teachers, students, and parents. I also budget and oversee the scheduling, planning, hosting, and promotion of home and away events, including training and monitoring coaches and teams and coordinating equipment and venues. 

In addition to my professional experience, I hold a Bachelor of Exercise Science and a Level 2 First Aid with CPR. From a young age I have been an avid athlete, with a passion for competitive track events at both amateur and professional level. I have participated in 45 marathons so far, and will compete in the Tokyo and Boston Marathons this year.

I have enjoyed my time at Elite Academy immensely. As the school has decided to teach online this year due to the global pandemic, my role is no longer active. I am therefore seeking a stimulating in-person assistant coaching opportunity where I can make a similarly positive impact.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Frank Wood
