How can I prepare for a career in coaching?

A natural interest in children, sport, recreation, or officiating is an excellent beginning. High school courses in psychology, human anatomy, child growth, biology and strength training would also be helpful as a knowledge base. Volunteer work with children as well as participation in the sport(s) of your choice is extremely helpful.
