Athletic Director Physical Education
Resume:
Dear Sir/Madam:
Please accept my application as a candidate for a position with your company. My qualifications include my experience as the Sports, Fitness and Recreation Director at the Boys and Girls Club of New Haven where I developed the Amateur Athletic Union program, the In-House program and the Academic program. These programs were created to give children an opportunity to try different sports and find something that they can enjoy and excel in. They also received a high level of training that teaches them discipline in sports from an early age. The Academic program was designed to teach children how to balance both sports and education. They are provided with support and mentoring to maintain a good average in school. The community helps support our programs by taking part in our fundraising events that include tournaments and outreach events to spread the word about what we try to accomplish in children’s lives.
My background also includes my work as a Physical Education Teacher, Coach and Athletic Director at The Neighborhood Charter House School. I oversaw and organized the athletic programs. I provided board members with budget information, marketing plans and event ideas that were beneficial to the success of our programs. I was able to coach various athletic teams, develop activities that encouraged physical fitness and offered youth a positive way to spend their leisure time. I also had the opportunity to teach various grade levels and that has helped me deal with unique situations and allowed me to act as a mentor to youth.
As a Therapeutic Support Staff member at All Pointe Care LLC, I helped coordinate activities that build self-esteem and self-confidence and worked one on one with clients to address their specific needs as well as planned outings to fun events and public places. I was also a part of a team that provided developmental services to individuals and families to help them become more independent, self-sufficient and more involved in the community.
I believe that I have the necessary skills for this position because I am committed to being a positive influence and making a difference in people’s lives. I look forward to an interview with you so that I can further elaborate on my qualifications.
Sincerely,
Tharon Mayes
