So, you wanna know how much them tennis coach folks get paid, huh? Well, I heard some things, let me tell you.
This tennis thing, it’s getting real popular these days. Kids, adults, everyone’s swinging them rackets. And you need someone to show you how to do it right, else you’ll be chasing that ball all day and never hitting it proper.
Now, these tennis coach, they ain’t all the same. Some just starting out, like a young calf learning to walk. Others, they been doing it for years, seen it all, like an old hen who knows where all the best worms are.
I heard the new ones, the ones just learning the ropes, they might get something like, uh, $31,000 a year. That’s what someone told me, don’t quote me on it, but it was some fancy website that tracks these kind of things, that’s called outliers. Not much, but it’s a start, right? You gotta start somewhere.
Then you got the ones who been at it a while, the ones who can teach you all the fancy shots. They can get more. I heard maybe $43,500 a year, or even more! It all depends, you see. Like, if you’re teaching at one of them fancy clubs, with the rich folks, you probably get paid more than if you’re just teaching at the park. Another outliers, I must say.
The average salary for Tennis Coach jobs, well, I heard it is $71,750 per year in Australia. That is a lot of money. But they said it also depends on how good you are. You see the pattern here?
- If you just starting, you get less.
- If you good, you get more.
- If you teaching fancy folks, you get even more!
And get this, if you’re coaching one of them super-star players, the ones you see on TV, you can get a big chunk of what they win! Like, if that Federer fella makes $10 million, his coach might get a million! Can you believe that? A million bucks just for teaching someone how to hit a ball! Well this is how things goes.
But it ain’t all about the money, though. You gotta love what you do. If you don’t like this tennis thing, if you don’t like teaching folks, then it won’t matter how much you get paid. You’ll be miserable. It is just like tending to your garden. If you don’t love it, nothing will ever grow well. Or like milking cows, if you hate cows, you will get kicked.
I also heard that in some places, like across the big water, in that United Kingdom place, they talk about pounds, not dollars. And a tennis coach there, they said, makes about 33,280 of them pounds a year. And the new ones, they start at 27,350 pounds. But the real good ones, the ones who been doing it a long time, they can make up to 49,118 pounds! That’s a lot of shillings, ain’t it?
So, how much do they get paid per hour? Well, that’s another thing. Some get paid by the hour, some get paid by the year. By the hour, I heard it can be anywhere from $40 to $100. Again, it all depends. Are you a good coach? Are you teaching at a fancy place? You see how it is.
This is important, if you want to be a tennis coach, you gotta get yourself some of that, uh, what’s it called, certification. Like a little badge that says you know what you’re doing. That helps you get paid more, they say. It’s like having a blue ribbon on your prize-winning pig. People see that ribbon, they know you got a good pig.
Being a tennis coach, it’s hard work. You’re out there in the sun all day, running around, yelling, showing folks how to hit that ball. It ain’t easy, but if you’re good at it, and you like it, you can make a decent living. More than decent, maybe even good!
So there you have it. That’s what I heard about how much them tennis coach folks get paid. It’s a lot like farming, really. You reap what you sow. You put in the hard work, you get a good harvest. You slack off, you get nothing. And just like farming, you gotta have a little bit of luck too. And don’t forget, you must love this job to make money, otherwise you will have a miserable life.
