Introduction
Coaches are the ones who help us to build our future. They shape students so that students can make their future well. Coach plays a very important role in everyone’s life. Teaching online lectures, and spending a large amount of time in front of electronic gadgets is not an easy thing, for students to make their future bright and secure. Teachers also play the role of our parents, they teach us all the discipline and ethics that every parent teaches his child. Becoming a coach is not an easy job we have to give most of our time to building and securing the future of students. A coach and student must make our country proud. Their one blessing is a huge achievement in every student’s life. Every year we all celebrate teachers’ day to express our love for their hard work and motivation. But the question is do you need a college degree to be a coach?
To be a coach it is not necessary to get a specific degree but general knowledge matters. Since general knowledge is the first thing we get to learn from school. But if anyone wants to work in some specific field as a doctor, or teacher it is essential to have a degree in a particular field. It is important to get knowledgeable about that particular field before sharing it with others. Old-aged teachers are always much more experienced than the new teachers, their knowledge increases day by day as they start sharing their education with others.
In the villages, coaches are not that educated but they always try their best to give students proper education. Even if they don’t get the money they also fulfill every need of the student. In countries like the US, Boston, and London their teachers need degrees and some qualifications for getting into the field of the coach. Whether it’s the coach of the cricket team or the football team it is important to get proper training before teaching it to students.
Is there any age limit to being a coach?
For every field, there is an age limit for becoming a head coach of the age limit is 60 years, after 60 years it is not possible to become a head coach. Like that only for cricket, there is no age limit, the player can join at any age period but they should not have any health issues. The player with health issues will have more chances to get a heart attack and a high chance of getting die. For school and college teachers, there is no proper age limit since all had seen the principles of the school are mostly old age persons.
At the age of 50 and 60 also teachers teach students so that they can share every experience with them. In college, most of the teachers we see are young and good-looking since they notice that the young generation is more attached to their age. College teachers are more like friends, sharing information with them is more comfortable for the students. Age is just a number, knowledge, experience, and the skills of the teacher matter the most. Some coaches give training at the age of 60 also why? To make a good future for the student, to turn the dreams of students into reality. In countries like the UK, Us, and England there is an age limit. And below 18 years they cant join in the field of coaching.

Here are a few qualities of a coach:

Conclusion
Some colleges and schools, without degrees, don’t accept. The degree is proof that shows the percentage of what we studied, it helps to identify the person’s knowledge for a particular field, and it shows the interest of a person. If a coach has a proper degree it becomes easier for them to get a job in a particular field. Today, there are several courses available, and teachers make videos of courses and publish them directly on the internet which is very beneficial for students. Students are achieving their dreams only because of the knowledge and experience of their coach.
