A outdoor activities instructor already meets 44% of what the tennis coach role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
44%
54.7/ 100
1 Share of the tennis coach role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the outdoor activities instructor profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A tennis coach role treats 5 of its required skills as things a outdoor activities instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply risk management in sports
- maintain customer service
- motivate in sports
- organise sporting environment
- plan sports instruction programme
What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tennis coach role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a outdoor activities instructor background worth leading with.
- already held organise sporting environment management skills
- already held plan sports instruction programme management skills
- already held work with different target groups communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held motivate in sports management skills
- already held apply risk management in sports information skills
- already held teamwork principles generic programmes and qualifications
All 11 carried skills, including the 5 the tennis coach role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held instruct in sport required
- required, not held cooperate with colleagues required
- required, not held demonstrate professional attitude to clients required
- optional, not held support sport in media optional
- optional, not held assist clients with special needs optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a tennis coach role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 tennis knowledge · occupation specific
- 02 assess performance in sport events skill · sector specific
- 03 instruct in sport skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
