NYC Soccer Coach
Hello
I visited Austin this past week and really enjoyed my time. I went to Barton Springs, some hilltops, some bar hopping, and stayed at my friend's place that was eye opening in regard to affordability/comfort/ space. I'm 24yo
I'm a very spontaneous person when it comes to travel, I decided to visit Austin at 9pm and was on a flight 6am the next day. Saying that, I've been wanting to leave the hell hole that is NYC. I've been here my whole life, visiting Atlanta for 5 years for college, and coming back for work opportunities and family. I'm ready to move and my trip didn't show everything about Austin, I didn't meet that many new people, I didn't try more than 10 spots to eat or sit - but I know that I would like to move here and leave NYC. It was lowkey a much calmer, friendly, manageable city than Atlanta but had very strong similarities. I think I will be moving to Austin by the end of the year.
Now the only way this idea works is if I can find work. I'm a soccer coach as the title suggests working at a Jesuit highschool, local town team, local academy team, and team-neutral training organization. I don't make more than 60k a year but I definitely don't live a crazy life - all I do is coach, play chess, and travel (whether for work or leisure.) | have money saved up, based on my friend's rent I can have about 1.5-2x years of Austin rent by the end of the year.
I know there's Austin FC and it's fairly new. Not going to lie I lucked out with my current jobs in NYC.
I work for amazing people and have been given wonderful opportunities, but it's time to move and dive into the unknown. Are there any reputable soccer teams with solid coaching opportunities/ development pathways besides Austin FC? Are there reputable Jesuit/Catholic/Christian Highschools I can apply to? Coaching is my passion and I'd like to have a similar setup concerning where I work. Should I expect to make more or less than NYC? I know there's no income tax which is mouth watering. Any advice or criticism is appreciated
Thank you
