To any in the education field. Is it feasible to become a full time teacher while being a full time coach? What about a principle/dean while coaching or owning a gym?

I was a teacher for 5 years before finally quitting to coach full time and direct the cheer program at our gym.

When I only coached 2 all star teams 3x a week it was hard (I was the head coach of the program so I still had a lot of extra work to put in). But I also had 2 small children then and it really was just a hobby. My teaching work didn't suffer much but I only taught 3 classes of core subject and 2 classes of elective (no homework in that class) and I had TWO back to back planning periods so my day job was actually easier :confused:

It's very very doable if you're single and require little sleep. But it's hard to he available during the day for your customers as a teacher and an owner.

Then you're good to go!

Notice I did say my teaching work didn't suffer "much". I definitely neglected some things in favor of cheer. Nothing that would get me fired or anything like that but I didn't throw myself fully into my teaching like I did my coaching.
 
Yeah.. I asked her why and she said "because i'm the mom and i said so." okay mom. okay. I'm always home by curfew, i always text her when i leave and get somewhere, i always ask if i can go somewhere first, i pay for gas and car insurance, i've been making all a's and b's... there's no reason she shouldnt trust me.
Didn't your dad pay for you car too? If I was in Knoxville I would come babysit for you....
 
It's so frustrating, there hasn't been a day in this new year were i was healthy and fit. Illness, injuries, surgery and i struggle with my back pain more than ever before.
I promise i will be nice and do everything for good karma, i'll even stop thinking mean things - but please let this stop.

Oh, and i started my diet again today, i wasn't a good example of discipline the last three months.
 
Ummm I'm in need of some serious Sorority girl help! I just officially became a pledge Tuesday and I have 2 weeks (NCA weekend) to pick a big and I literally have zero clue where to start. HELP MEEE.

In other words, I haven't taken a nap all week. I'm so proud of myself/exhausted. College life....

yes! she won't pay anything on it. it's so frustrating. my dad's been giving me gas money until hours at work pick back up. and yesterday when i got my oil changed they told me the lower ball joint on my tire was broken and i have to pay like $300 to get it fixed, and my dad has to pay for it... i just feel bad asking my dad for things but whenever i ask my mom she says no. but she has the power to take away my car... which i don't understand...

My gym is owned by a husband and wife. The husband is a teacher and his wife is a stay at home mom and manages the day to day activities of the gym (with the help of an office manager). They have two kids as well and he coaches a college team. I think in the gym he's the head coach of the senior 5 team and he coaches the all girl 6 team (that's only on Sunday nights). I think he helps with the senior 4 too? I'm not sure. Anyway he's at the gym pretty much every night of the week and gets up at like 5am for work. I'm not sure when he sleeps.
