After a terrific experience coaching one season at the Christchurch School of Gymnastics in New Zealand, I’ve encouraged young coaches to consider planning a work holiday to that club.
Even better would be a coaching “exchange”.
A competitive coach from Down Under would come to your gym and replace you — coaching your gymnasts and fulfilling your job description.
You would travel to somewhere — sunny Australia for example — at your own expense and replace that coach.
Both coaches get the chance for a gymnastics / life / travel experience. And neither club needs to replace the coach.
A coach exchange is easy to arrange for Commonwealth countries as a work visa program is available for those under 30-years-of-age. (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.)
But an exchange between any countries is possible if the coaches “volunteer” in the new gym.
You might even swap accommodation for the course of the exchange.
