Cover Letter
To Whom It May Concern,
I proudly submit my resume for your review and consideration. As a seasoned international and Olympic-level coach with a proven track record of success, I am available as a performance consultant, to facilitate camps and clinics, or to lead your national boxing team in a long-term role as a head coach for men and/or women.
Functioning as the National Development Coach with USA Boxing, I spearheaded initiatives that redefined grassroots coaching education that had not been updated since 1984, revitalized a coaching manual, and successfully integrated athletes and coaches into high-performance systems. These experiences honed my skills in program planning, resource assessment, and creating pathways for sustained success.
Highlights of my expertise include:
-
Program Supervision and Development: Designed and executed training camps and competition calendars, ensuring alignment with organizational goals while fostering athlete readiness for international competition.
-
Team Leadership and Coordination: Collaborated closely with boards, staff, and athletes to maintain alignment with strategic visions, effectively bridging gaps between current practices and desired outcomes.
-
Advisory Excellence: Partnered with teams to assess challenges, propose actionable solutions, and implement strategies to achieve measurable improvements in performance and culture.
Available services:
-
Consulting: I am passionate about problem-solving—identifying gaps between where we are and where we want to be, then planning and executing strategies to get back on track. At USA Boxing, I led the development of the grassroots coaching manual, revamped the coaching education system for the first time since 1984, and served as the National Development Coach, guiding athletes and coaches to meet high-performance standards in performance and cultural expectations. My extensive experience equips me to support your team in achieving success.
-
Clinics and Presentations: Networking and sharing my ideas and insights was one of my favorite things about my time with Team USA, helping others benefit from my proven methods. I’d be honored to speak with or facilitate for your team, sharing how I transformed education, training, and culture within Team USA.
-
Coaching: My goal as a leader, whether through temporary camps or a permanent coaching role, is to mentor by educating and empowering athletes, coaches, and staff while working in alignment with the board of directors. Unity is key to achieving organizational missions and visions. I pride myself on listening to everyone's needs, identifying obstacles, and driving progress to meet targets and goals.
Thank you for considering my services. References are available upon request. Please feel free to contact me at trainedbychad@gmail.com to schedule a conversation.
Sincerely,
Coach Chadrick Wigle
