How to Prepare Your Padel Coach CV and Cover Letter for Jobs Abroad


Padel Coach CV

Job offers for padel coaches are increasing every day, with opportunities emerging in destinations such as the United States, Asia, and various countries in Europe.


However, to access these international markets, it is not enough to have experience and certifications; you need to improve your profile and have a padel coach CV and a cover letter that convinces academies and clubs.


Here we explain how to structure your resume, which elements to prioritize depending on the destination, and how to avoid common mistakes that could cost you an opportunity.


Ideal Structure for Your Padel Coach CV

To apply for a vacancy in one of the best international destinations, your international padel coach CV must be clear, concise, and adapted to global standards. This is the structure recommended by specialized agencies:


1. Professional Header

Name and Main Qualification: Ex: "Juan Martínez | FIP Certified Padel Coach".


Contact Details: Phone number with country code, professional email, and link to your optimized LinkedIn profile.


Flexible Location: Indicate availability for relocation (ex: "Available for positions in Europe/Middle East").


2. Professional Profile (Summary)

3-4 lines that function as your elevator pitch. Summarize your unique value:


  • Years of experience.

  • Key international certifications (FIP, FEP, EPA, etc.).

  • Key specialties (ex: "Specialized in training junior players" or "Expert in coaching for adults in resort clubs").


3. Work Experience

Reverse order (most recent job first). Do not just list responsibilities; include measurable achievements with numbers:


  • "30% increase in advanced students in 6 months."

  • "Coordinator of international clinics with participants from 3 countries."

  • "Implementation of a new junior program that increased retention by 40%."


4. Certifications and Training

  • Highlight titles with global recognition: FIP, FEP, EPA, USPA. If you have training in sports psychology, club management, or first aid, include them.

  • Languages: It is crucial. Specify your level according to the Common European Framework (ex: "English: C1", "Arabic: A2"). Do not use the expression: "intermediate level".


5. Technical Skills

Segment by categories to make it easy to read:


  • Training Techniques: Video analysis (Playtomic, TPC Matchpoint, etc.), season planning, technical training.

  • Methodological: Adaptive teaching, sports psychology applied to padel.Administrative: Reservation management (PadelCRM or similar software), tournament organization.

What to Include and Highlight Depending on the Destination

An effective padel coach CV adapts. Do not send the same one to everyone:

  • Europe (Spain, Sweden, Italy): They highly value experience in tournaments (EPT or national) and command of multiple languages. Highlight any previous work in renowned academies.

  • Middle East (Dubai, Saudi Arabia): They look for experience with high-performance players and, above all, cultural adaptability. Emphasize academy launch projects or work with demanding clients.

  • U.S. and Latin America: Here commercial skills are as important as technical ones. Mention experience in academy management, sports marketing, or student recruitment.

Fatal Mistakes in an International CV You Must Avoid

  • CV Too Long: Maximum 2 pages. International recruiters have little time.

  • Unprofessional Photos: Use a studio photo with formal sports clothing or avoid it if the destination country is not of Latin culture (UK, U.S. usually prefer CVs without photos).

  • Lack of Numbers and Achievements: Listing only your "responsibilities" is boring. What was your impact? Always use numbers.

  • Poorly Specified Languages: Nothing like "English: intermediate level". Use "B2" or "C1". Transparency is key.

  • Non-Scannable Format: Save your CV in PDF and avoid tables, columns, or extravagant designs that confuse applicant tracking systems (ATS).


The Cover Letter That Makes a Difference

A cover letter for a padel coach is not a summary of your CV. It is your opportunity to connect on a human level and demonstrate why you are the ideal person for that specific club.


Key Elements:


  • Emotional connection: Briefly explain why you want to work in that particular club or country.

  • Knowledge of the destination: Show that you have researched. Mention a local tournament, a player from the region, or the academy's philosophy.

  • Specific value proposition: Link one of your skills with a need they may have.


A well-structured padel coach CV and a persuasive cover letter are your passport to the international circuit. Do not underestimate their power. Combine quantifiable data, relevant certifications, and a personalized narrative that demonstrates not only what you do, but the unique value you provide. The world is looking for qualified coaches; you only need to show that it is you.
