Dear Baumgartner:
Please consider me a candidate for the position of Head Coach that you have advertised for
employment. I feel I am well qualified for the position due to my knowledge I received as a
student, along with the work experience I have accumulated of the years.
As a student of West Chester University of Pennsylvania, I always strive to push myself, and
along the way achieve excellence. As student athlete I joined the accelerated program to earn
my bachelors degree in business management along with an associates degree in finance in
three years. I will then go on to obtain my masters in business administration, specifically
marketing with dual minors in coaching and communications. All of which will be done while I
am continuing my football career and striving to be the best player on the field. I currently have
a 3.23 cumulate G.P.A. However, I want to finish with a 3.5 once I have completed my masters.
As a student of the game, you can always learn more. Coming up on my fourteen year playing
football I strive myself on knowing the game, inside out, from what every player on the field is
doing to how the coaches are calling the game. As a coach I have worked multiple football
clinics with age groups ranging from 5-15 years of age. Off the field, I have experiences in retail
stores first starting as model/sales associate for Hollister Co., then working my way to Dicks
Sporting Goods specifically in the team sports department. I have also worked in security for
West Chester University sporting event, as well as Saloon 151 Bar & Grill. Finally, I was a valet
for the Country Club of York Pennsylvania. All of my previous and present jobs have uniquely
prepared me to be flexible and quick on my feet in the work force.
In short, my academic achievements, and my work experience combined with my knowledge of
the game makes me the prefect candidate for the head football coach position you are looking
to fill. I believe my commitment, energy, and creativity, makes me never stop striving to be the
best, and is just what this historic programs needs to get back on top. I hope you believe so too,
thank you for your consideration of my application.
Sincerely:

Chaim Smith
