Now today I want to talk about why PE teachers make great business owners. So over the last year, we have onboarded a lot of coaches into our program. We've also connected with a lot of coaches in multiple sports and one thing that I've noticed is that some of the most successful business owners who I have spoken to have a history or have a past in PE teaching, right? They've either been a teacher or they've been a PE teacher in a school, okay? So they've worked in either a school environment or they were a PE teacher. Now I wanted to create this video because I know that this is going to be really valuable because I know a lot of PE teachers do watch our channel and a lot of them do ask us and they connect with us and they ask us, I Leo like, I'm currently in PE, I want to start my own business, how can I do it? What do I need? What qualifications? What experience? Okay, so I want to try and answer all those questions in this video and I want to try and make it short. I don't want to make it a long one. So if you are a PE teacher and you are considering jumping into the private training industry, I would recommend that it's a fantastic opportunity for you. Now I've worked as a PE teacher before in a school and I want to be completely honest and this is just something that was personal to me, but personally it wasn't something I enjoyed, okay? I'm based in the UK so working in a school I had to do a lot of the admin side of teaching which I didn't enjoy. I also had to work with really big groups, okay? Most PE teachers here in the UK work with up to 30 kids in one class. So and sometimes what I notice is sometimes depending on what school you work in, sometimes the schools don't have the correct equipment for the amount of kids you have to work with, okay? And a lot of schools don't have PE as an important subject within their school which means you kind of get left at the bottom. So there's not enough funding for new equipment. Your classes are sometimes very overcrowded with a lot of kids. Most kids don't really like physical education so they become very disruptive. For me personally, and this is just a personal experience, it wasn't something that I enjoyed. I didn't enjoy it and I can say that every single day when I went into work I hated what I was doing and to be honest with you I didn't last very long. I think I lasted a couple of months and then I quit it because I couldn't do it anymore. It was just, it was an environment that I just didn't enjoy. I didn't see any, I wasn't adding any value to the kids because of the overcrowded environment, because of the lack of equipment I was being provided from the school. And also a lot of the admin stuff which had nothing to do with what I enjoyed which was the coaching. So PTChim was not for me, but it was something that helped me to build my business. And if you are a PT teacher, there's several skills that you use on a day-to-day basis that will make you a fantastic business owner when it comes to starting your own training business. So a few things is, number one, structure. So if you are a PT teacher then you understand that there's a curriculum that you have to follow with your students. So that means that you have to be very structured with your lessons. You have to plan your lessons out in advance. And that's fantastic because when you learn to plan your lessons, when you become a business owner you have to plan your sessions as well. So that's one skill that if you are a PT teacher you can take into your training business. Structure and stick into a school curriculum that is required. Because when you start your own business you can set up your own training curriculum where your students, your players, your athletes follow that curriculum every single week. You're coaching them through that curriculum. So how to build and how to follow curriculum is one of the skills that will make you a fantastic business owner. Second one is the administrative side to the job. With PT teaching there's a lot of forms, a lot of paperwork that you have to do and that is a skill in itself. Because if you have 30 kids in a class you have to make sure that everything is organised. So all documents are in alphabetical order. You've got to make sure that all the kids complete their homework. You have to make sure that you sign the homework off, that you mark the homework. All of that requires good time management. It also requires a lot of organisation from your end. Because if you've got a lot of students then you have to make sure that your time is valuable and you're using your time wisely to make sure that you're marking all of your students' homework and tasks that you set them. This is a transferrable skill because when it gets to business it's the same principle and it's the same concept. Because if you have 50 to 100 clients that you're working with and you're setting them homework on a weekly basis or you have to go out and watch them play in their matches and you have to provide a report for them. All of this is organisation and time management. And this is why PT teachers are really really good at this aspect of business. Because when they're working in schools they're used to it. They have to be at a lesson at this time. They have to make sure that all their students are dressed by this time. They have to make sure that the session runs until this time. So everything is structured and everything is organised. And they have to make sure that all the paperwork is in order so that students can get their grades or whatever it is that they you have to fill out. And that is the same as in business. So in business you have to make sure that your clients all have contract signed. You've got to make sure that their payment system is in place. You've got to make sure that you have time to get on sales calls with parents. So the skills are transferrable. And that's why I think PT teachers do make really good business owners because they're used to working in higher numbers. And they're used to having a lot of paperwork that they have to then complete. And this is the same in business. Now the next one is, PT teachers are used to working with large groups. So if you start your own training business and you want to go into the camps or clinics environment, you want to start your camps or clinics training. And you want to you want that to be your business model. Then being a PE teacher gives you that advantage, right? Because if you're, for example, like here in the UK, where most PE teachers have to work with up to 30 students at once, right, if you're used to working in big groups, then ultimately when you start to run camps and clinics, then it's easy, right? It becomes very easy, it becomes very manageable. And you know how to do it, okay? Something I see with a lot of coaches is that most coaches struggle with big groups. All right, most coaches don't know how to manage big, big groups, whether that be in soccer, whether that be in basketball, whether that be in baseball, right? Most coaches don't know how to manage large groups such as in camps or clinics, okay? PE teachers have that advantage, okay? Because they're used to working with large groups, they're used to working with kids of different levels, okay? And when you run a camp or clinic, it's exactly that, right? You're going to have large groups, you're going to have kids at different levels, different abilities, okay? You're going to be working with boys, girls, right? If it's a mixed camp. So being a PE teacher gives you that experience in that environment, working with large groups, working with different abilities, and essentially that experience, if you take it into business, you can run really successful camps and clinics, okay? And you will be very comfortable running, you know, those type of camps or clinics of that size because you're used to doing it with your PE lessons, okay? So I hope this helps. I hope this gives you a little bit of an insight into the skills and qualities that PE teachers have that they can then take into business, right?
