Coaches Coach Wages

[#BGymnast]

Hi coaches,

I am interested in whether you can make a living off coaching gymnastics?
I'm not asking how much you get paid, just generally wanting to know if you can live a comfortable life off coaching? Would you be able to pay or your family to live comfortably as a full time coach, or do you need to have a main job, and gymnastics just as your side hustle? I would guess that really good coaches who are the personal coaches of future/already olympians would make a lot, but as a regular coach is it a well enough paying job?

Does anyone think it would be worth starting your own gym, or have you done it already? Is it worth the costs, or do you go bankrupt quickly?

I'm very sorry if anyone finds this post rude, I am not trying to ask how much you get paid, just a short yes or no answer as to whether it could possibly be a full time career is fine.

Thankyou

There are circumstances and/or places where coaches do earn significantly more than a living wage.
