FORMAL COVER LETTER
Respected Mr. Henry,
I found the online listing for sports coach and I would be grateful if you can consider my
resume for this precious opportunity. This can be found that I have much passion in sports and
coaching in the same field which can help me in providing coaching to the players of games like
football, tennis, gym etc. I would love to teach the students in playing games so that they can
also learn the skills which I gained through my experience. I am an ambitious professional
having leadership proficiency and experience and also thrilled to learn about the opening of the
sports. I believe that this industrialist drive and professional background can help me in
becoming ideal candidate for filling this position of sports coach. I am also a gym freak person
who helps me in remaining active the whole days along with gaining knowledge about proper
nutrition and exercises for different parts of body (Lynes, 2019). This position will also help me
in adding career highlights to my profession. I have various skills including team work,
communication, problem solving, leadership, critical thinking and many more which can help in
thriving in high pressure and fast paced situations. I have the ability to identify and visualise
success and highly effective strategies to achieve the same. My decision making and
management talents also support me in my professional growth. I also have skilfully balanced
objectives and productive relationships which help me in maintaining competitive edge (Bohall
and Bautista, 2017). My family is also sports oriented and I have been since my childhood
starting from tennis and football to gym as I grow. I also participated in various events on state
as well as national levels. My love for sports made me earn a Bachelor’s degree in physical
education and also loved teaching kids from beginning. My passion is to teach the children sports
and keeping them healthy through physical activities (Scheadler and et.al., 2021). If you feel that
I can be good fit for this position then you can contact me on my email: DavidPaul123@
