I get asked ALL the time about portfolios. Look, I’m not the portfolio expert. Yes, I can give you my advice on them. But I’d rather turn you over to the best resource for coaching portfolios that I can find. I got to know Bill Vasko years ago, and nobody on the planet has done more on portfolios, or is more of an expert on them than Coach Vasko.
Your first impression is everything when applying for a new coaching job. A professional coaching portfolio is the tool that highlights your coaching achievements and philosophies and, most of all, helps separate you and your abilities from the other applicants.
The key to landing a new coaching job is to demonstrate to the hiring committee your attention to detail, level of preparedness, and your professionalism. Not only does a coaching portfolio allow you to exhibit these qualities, it also allows you to present your personal philosophies on coaching, leadership, and program development in an organized manner.
