Then take some hints from rugby league development officer Caro Wild.

How long have you been working as a rugby league coaching development officer?

I got injured while I was playing rugby for my university in Luton and started doing more coaching.

I then got involved with local clubs in Hemel Hempstead and St Albans, coaching their kids.

About that time, I find out that the Rugby Football League (RFL) was looking for officers for the south.

I made myself available and got the job.

Caro visits lots of local schools and clubs

What qualifications do you need to need to become a coaching development officer?

Having a degree helps, but most development officers have got a few A-Levels or a leisure GNVQ.

It's more about getting the experience coaching with a professional club.

What do you do?

The officers go into local schools and get the kids playing rugby, helping teachers how to coach rugby league.

They do a lot of fund raising and work with the local authorities to help spread the game.

What is the best thing about the job?

You are constantly in contact with children doing something they enjoy and love.

It is very satisfying to see children coming through the ranks becoming elite players, helping them to get involved in high level sport.

And the worst?

The long hours and very little time to yourself.

The job is also your hobby as well. But these are only minor points.
