Alright, so I’ve been meaning to tell you guys about this thing I tried out. It’s about becoming a USC coach. I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” and documented the whole shebang.
First off, I started digging into what it takes to be a coach at USC. I mean, it’s a pretty big deal, right? So, I hit the books, or rather, the internet, to learn about their programs, the kind of coaches they look for, and what the whole application process is like. I spent hours reading articles, watching videos, and all that jazz.
Next, I got my ducks in a row. I updated my resume, making sure it highlighted all my coaching experiences and relevant skills. I even reached out to some people I know who are in the coaching world to get some tips and advice. It was a bit nerve-wracking, but I knew I had to put my best foot forward.
Then came the application. I filled out the forms, wrote those essays about my coaching philosophy and why I wanted to be at USC, and gathered all my references. I must have checked everything a hundred times to make sure it was all perfect.
- Sent in the application.
- Waited. And waited. This was probably the hardest part.
- Finally, I got an email inviting me for an interview! I was over the moon.
I prepared like crazy for the interview. I practiced answering questions, thought about how I would handle different scenarios, and even picked out the perfect outfit. When the day came, I was nervous but also excited. I met with the team, answered their questions as best as I could, and showed them my passion for coaching and for USC.
The Waiting Game Again
After the interview, it was back to waiting. It felt like forever, but eventually, I got the call. I didn’t get the position, sadly, but they did give me some awesome feedback. It was a bit of a letdown, but I learned so much from the whole experience. It just showed me how much I want this and how much harder I need to work.
So, yeah, that’s my story about trying to become a USC coach. It didn’t exactly go as planned, but it was an adventure, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s all about learning and growing, right? And who knows, maybe one day I’ll be back on that field, just in a different role.
