Coach Interview Questions
The right coach can make an organisation as successful as possible. When employers interview potential coaches, they are interested in an individual's leadership skills, communication techniques and personal approach to the position. Be prepared to talk about what coaching means to you and how you would handle various situations as the leader of a team.
Top Coach Interview Questions & How to Answer
Here are three top coach interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
Question No. 1: Why do you want to be a coach?
How to answer: Employers are interested in getting to know coaches on a personal level. They want to know why you want to be a leader. Explain your relationship with coaching and why you are passionate about the position. Additionally, prove you did your research by explaining why working with the specific team is so important to you.
Question No. 2: What do you do when a team is struggling?
How to answer: Interviewers want to know if you can identify problems within a team and if you can use problem-solving skills to improve the team's situation. They also want to gain a stronger understanding of your communication abilities in order to know whether you can properly discuss problem-solving solutions with children and young adults.
Question No. 3: How do you handle criticism?
How to answer: Criticism can come from team members, parents/guardians and other coaches. Employers want to make sure you can handle criticism in a healthy, productive way. Use this question as an opportunity to explain a time when you received a critique and used it to your advantage.

I didn’t. This was a little much to expect from a potential employee who was told I would be trained on how to do motivational interviews. Less

There were a lot of steps required for the interview process. Long and drawn out. This test and that test, then internet speed test and on and on.... I did it all! I went through the whole, long process and felt and was told that I did great and kept moving on to the next steps. The Monday after my final interview, I was told by the recruiter that everyone liked me and that my scores were "very high" but that the last person to interview me thought that I would be "bored" with this job. We were both perplexed... I did everything right, have all the right experience, and the recruiter handed them a good candidate. I was not made a job offer off of an assumption, yet this company is currently is using a Temp service to fulfill their contracts. Thoughts would be first- You are being handed good, quality candidates, yet not hiring and using a temp service??? Ummm, okay. Next Advice- Simply clarify the role and use open communication with the candidate to confirm that the candidate is comfortable with the job pace. DO NOT just assume anything in life. That can get you proven wrong... Also, the company needs to listen to the recruiting service that THEY have in place. The recruiters put forth a great deal of effort, and are working very hard to find good talent only to be brushed off by management of the company. I just have to wonder if HR is aware of this process. I would love to speak with the HR dept about this situation. Less

I find it deplorable that such large companies sully their reputations by not keeping potential employees informed. Sadly, when companies treat me this way I make it a point to stop wasting my money at their establishments. I also tell people I know and meet of this and, if I am lucky they stop spending money there as well (assuming they care about more than their own employment status). Less

Today, lets be real, company's are looking for candidates who can provide results, uphold the companys image - "candidates appearance", intellectual, and strong background with coaching and developing of staff. Too many times candidates feel that they are the right choice for a job, but the reality is your not the right choice based on your appearance, average interview, and lack of experience. Every answer given to a question may not be the right answer in regards to the company and the position you are applying for. If you are not hired, or receive an offer within the first 2 weeks of an interview, you probably not the right candidate. You failed, move on to the next opportunity. "Just a thought." Less

Learn from their experiences and make sure not to commit those mistakes. I’d love be around people who are more experienced than a newbie as I will learn a lot from them. Less

You need to insure that you do everything required but not dominate tenured agents....initially we should push for nothing more than acceptance and mutual respect. Less
