Question 20 of 30
How to Answer
Example Answer
Community Answers
Most sports at the high school leave need funding to continue to support the team. Many coaches have fundraisers in many different ways to sport their teams- bake sales, car washes, candle drives, and many more. Through these fundraisers you'll need community support for your team or else they won't generally want to support the fundraiser.
The interviewer wants to know that you'll continue generating sport so that the program will continue and thrive. You can talk about different ways you've reach out to the community on past teams you've coached or on teams you've been on. Be creative and come up with something new to peak the interviewer's interest.
"I always have my teams volunteer at least once during our season- we've gone to soup kitchens before, cleaned up trash, volunteered in a nursing home, etc. I believe the best way to generate community interest for a program is to show that we have interest in community as well. I also believe that volunteering and helping others is a great lesson to teach our athletes."

We will volunteer several times a year for a variety of charities that have supported us throughout the year. We will be there to support all school athletics.

You mention some excellent methods for generating community interest - well done! You may also want to consider discussing any previous efforts you have participated in (including your role, the role of your team, and some measurable details re: the positive outcome).
