I didn't recognize the situation that way because I was coaching inner city sports and simply enjoyed doing it because of the sports, or so I thought. I never connected it with teaching.
As an adult and regardless of my day job, I wound up being a little league coach for 5 years, a Scoutmaster for 15 years and Youth Director at our synagogue for 9 years. Over those years I realized I liked teaching a lot and got more satisfaction from it. Now I wish I had done it as a career.
Even though I'll be 59 in a few days, I still think about going back to school, getting my teaching credentials and working at some high school where I could be the golf coach on top of teaching some political science or history classes.
