54%
48.1/ 100
1 Share of the horse riding instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tennis coach profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A horse riding instructor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a tennis coach already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply risk management in sports
- assess performance in sport events
- demonstrate professional attitude to clients
- give constructive feedback
- instruct in sport
- maintain customer service
What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A horse riding instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tennis coach background worth leading with.
- already held organise sporting environment management skills
- already held promote balance between rest and activity management skills
- already held assess performance in sport events management skills
- already held demonstrate professional attitude to clients communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held plan sports instruction programme management skills
- already held work with different target groups communication, collaboration and creativity
All 16 carried skills, including the 8 the horse riding instructor role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a horse riding instructor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 horse riding knowledge · occupation specific
- 02 horse riding equipment knowledge · occupation specific
- 03 correct potentially harmful movements skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
