A tennis coach already meets 41% of what the ski instructor role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
41%
53.8/ 100
1 Share of the ski 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 ski instructor role treats 4 of its required skills as things a tennis coach already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply risk management in sports
- instruct in sport
- personalise sports programme
- plan sports instruction programme
What stands in the way is 5 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ski 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 personalise sports programme management skills
- already held plan sports instruction programme management skills
- already held work with different target groups communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held motivate in sports management skills
- already held apply risk management in sports information skills
- already held instruct in sport communication, collaboration and creativity
All 8 carried skills, including the 4 the ski instructor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held execute sports training programme required
- required, not held promote health and safety required
- optional, not held develop personal skills optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a ski instructor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 ski knowledge · occupation specific
- 02 execute sports training programme skill · sector specific
- 03 promote health and safety 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.
