Aspiring coaches, take note: SAI has rolled out applications for 323 assistant coach roles spanning 26 sports disciplines. This strategic expansion of the coaching workforce is timed perfectly with India’s intensified focus on sporting excellence ahead of major international events.
Key sports include aquatics, cycling, gymnastics, judo, table tennis, taekwondo, volleyball, and more. The roles demand a blend of technical expertise, motivational skills, and a deep understanding of athlete psychology. SAI prioritizes coaches who can deliver results in high-pressure environments.
Online applications are mandatory, with a user-friendly portal handling submissions. Age relaxations apply for experienced candidates and reserved categories. The pay scale promises financial security, while postings across SAI’s National Centres of Excellence offer dynamic work settings.
