Be the positive role model the next Beckham, Bryant or Brady need to succeed.
Sport brings people together the way very few other things can do. Although technical skills can be learned and improved, sport helps develop key character skills, such as communication, confidence and working amongst a team.
It's so important for kids to understand these key areas at an early age, which will help them succeed not just in sport, but in life as well. Summer camp provides the perfect environment to teach sports coaching abroad.
Not only will you experience a summer of a lifetime, but you'll be a key part in other people's incredible summer.
Sport is the favourite part of the day for so many people. Your passion for sports coaching abroad will shine through and you'll become the campers go-to person for their favourite activity.
Campers will remember the incredible times and your impact will far outlast each session; you could be a pivotal moment in their young lives and what direction they ultimately take.

Sport is a universally connecting activity, which brings people together all around the world.
The summer months tend to be an ideal time for sports coaches to be recruited, as summer camps all around the world are looking for key staff to guide children during their holidays.
Where you work can be very dependent on what you would like to do in your sports coaching role.
The likes of summer camp in America have a huge range of sports, from the home sports of basketball, baseball and more, through to the likes of soccer, golf and tennis.
Canada and China also need staff for a wide range of sports, with dozens and dozens of different activity roles available.
Sports coaching requires some form of background or experience within your chosen field.
This does not mean you have to have a high level of formal education, but it is important to pass on the correct, safe and focused knowledge of your chosen sport or activity.
You may have experience leading a children's netball team, or you could be a fully fledged Level 2 football coach. An involvement within your sport is vital to show that you can help lead a group of children to having a great time.
Sports coaching is not just limited to the major sports.
