A tennis coach already meets 42% of what the golf instructor role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
42%
51.8/ 100
1 Share of the golf instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tennis coach 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 golf instructor role treats 5 of its required skills as things a tennis coach already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assess performance in sport events
- give constructive feedback
- instruct in sport
- personalise sports programme
- plan sports instruction programme
What stands in the way is 5 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A golf instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tennis coach background worth leading with.
- already held assess performance in sport events management skills
- already held personalise sports programme management skills
- already held plan sports instruction programme management skills
- already held motivate in sports management skills
- already held instruct in sport communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held apply risk management in sports information skills
All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the golf instructor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 6 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 adapt teaching to student's capabilities required
- required, not held adapt teaching to target group required
- required, not held demonstrate when teaching required
- optional, not held communicate information during sport game optional
- optional, not held exercise sports optional
- optional, not held participate in sport events optional
- optional, not held communicate with youth optional
- required, not held golf required
- optional, not held sport games rules optional
- required, not held develop sports programmes required
- optional, not held sports ethics optional
- optional, not held market trends in sporting equipment optional
- optional, not held sport and exercise medicine optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a golf instructor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 golf knowledge · occupation specific
- 02 adapt teaching to student's capabilities skill · cross sector
- 03 adapt teaching to target group skill · cross sector
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.
