Income and Related Benefits
for Coaches in the WITFL Program

The WITFL Coach Certification Program offers coaches a variety of income-generating opportunities, ranging from private coaching to team ownership, event hosting, and more. With the knowledge gained through the program, coaches can enhance their earning potential and create a sustainable coaching career. Below are the key income-related benefits that come with being a WITFL-certified coach.

​

Private Coaching Income

Income Potential: $50 to $100 per hour
As a WITFL-certified coach, you can offer private coaching sessions tailored to individual athletes. These sessions could focus on improving specific skills, optimizing technique, or developing overall athletic performance.

• How It Works:
  Coaches can market their expertise to athletes seeking personalized training. You set your own hourly rate and schedule for private sessions.

  • Example: If you conduct 10 private sessions per week at an average rate of $75 per hour, you could earn $750 per week just from private coaching.

 

Team/Organization Ownership

Income Potential: $150,000 to $500K+ annually
Coaches who choose to own and manage teams within WITFL can generate substantial income. Team ownership involves managing athletes, organizing competitions, and attracting sponsorships.

• How It Works:
  Coaches who own teams will charge monthly athlete fees (ranging from $200 to $300 per month per athlete) and can also generate additional income through sponsorships, merchandise sales, and event revenue.

  • Revenue Streams for Team Owners:

    • Athlete Registration Fees: Coaches charge athletes monthly fees for participation in the team.

    • Sponsorships: Team sponsorships provide opportunities for additional revenue through partnerships with local businesses and brands.

    • Event Revenue: Coaches can host track meets, competitions, and camps that generate entry fees, ticket sales, and vendor income.

• Example:
  A coach with 50 athletes paying $250/month would earn $12,500/month. This would amount to $150,000 annually in revenue from athlete fees alone. Additional income can come from event sponsorships and ticket sales.

 

Course Enrollment & Coaching Packages

Income Potential: $50 to $300 per participant per course
After becoming certified, coaches have the opportunity to create and sell their own training programs, workshops, and online courses.

• How It Works:
  Coaches can design specialized training packages for athletes (e.g., sprint training, strength development, or injury prevention). These courses can be sold either in-person or virtually to a wide audience.

  • Example: If a coach creates a 6-week sprinting program and charges $150 per participant, and attracts 10 participants, they could earn $1,500 per cycle.

 

Event and Camp Leadership

Income Potential: $495 to $995 per athlete per camp
Coaches can earn significant income by organizing and running track & field events and training camps.

• How It Works:
  Coaches can organize training camps for different age groups or skill levels. These camps could last anywhere from one day to several weeks, depending on the focus.

  • Example: A 5-day camp for 20 athletes at $500 per athlete would generate $10,000 in revenue from the camp alone.

• Event Hosting:
  Coaches can organize track and field events and competitions, where they charge entry fees, sell tickets, and create additional revenue streams via sponsorships and merchandise sales.

  • Example: A local competition with 100 participants charging $50 per entry could bring in $5,000 in registration fees, with additional funds from ticket sales and sponsors.

 

Sponsorship Opportunities

Income Potential: Varies, but can be substantial based on team or event exposure
Coaches can attract sponsorships for their teams, events, and camps, creating additional income streams.

• How It Works:
  Coaches can approach local businesses or national brands to sponsor their team, events, or training camps. These sponsorships could range from equipment sponsorships to financial deals.

  • Example: A coach who secures a $10,000 sponsorship deal for an event could use the funds to offset event costs, provide prize money, or improve facility quality.

 

Full-Time Coaching Income

Income Potential: $50,000 to $150,000+ annually
For those who decide to coach full-time, there are numerous opportunities to earn a steady income, either as a coach for an established organization or by owning a successful coaching business.

• How It Works:
  Full-time coaches earn a salary or generate income from athlete fees, events, and training programs.

  • Example: A coach employed by an athletic organization or owning a private training center could earn a base salary of $75,000 per year, with additional income from events, workshops, and private coaching.

 

Summary of Income Opportunities for Coaches:

• Private Coaching: $50 to $100 per hour

• Team Ownership: $150,000+ annually (based on athlete fees, sponsorships, and events)

• Training Packages & Courses: $50 to $300 per participant per course

• Event & Camp Leadership: $495 to $995 per athlete per camp
