Often, a coach is more than just a sports instructor, for many athletes he becomes an authority, just as important as parents. It is the coach who, in difficult times, helps to achieve the goals set, to overcome fear and self-doubt, to get rid of established patterns. This person teaches to be bold, resolute and assertive. Such a mentor as a gift for the New Year should prepare a special gift.
Subtleties of choice
In order to bring joy to the coach, try not to delay the purchase of the present for the last days of December - think over your gift in advance. To do this, you must perform the following tasks:
- analyze the features sports activities as well as a person’s hobby;
- collect maximum information about equipping his car and the availability of gadgets;
- It will be useful to know what preferences coach regarding popular brands and manufacturers;
- think about the purpose of the gift - whether you want it to be pragmatic, original or memorable.
It is difficult to choose a gift to a person about whom you know almost nothing, so you need to try to gather as much information as possible about your mentor in order to make the right choice.
Keep in mind that the gift should be thought out literally to the smallest detail - it should not be unpleasant to a person, in no case should he hint at flaws or external defects.
You should not give a gift anonymously - it is always more pleasant for every person to know from whom the sign of attention is received.
Be sure to take care of the original packaging - a gift, hastily tucked into a package with the logo of the nearest supermarket, spoil the impression of a gift. And, of course, do not forget to remove the price tag - this is a bad form.
Choosing a gift by specialization
When buying a gift in the first place you need to consider the sport in which the coach specializes. So, for fitness instructors you can pick up the following gifts:
- a bath towel - the coach will be especially pleased if, in addition, you embroider on him the initials of the coach or a touching phrase “to the best instructor”;
- high tech gadget, allowing to calculate the set and the consumption of calories;
- stylish set from headbands, as well as gloves and wristbands;
- diary in a stylish cover, where the coach will be able to mark the result of classes and make adjustments to their daily plans.
When choosing a presentation, the coach of a team of swimmers and athletes of other water sports (water polo, triathlon, sailing or rowing) can stay on the original swimming cap with an unusual picture or funny text in the subject. If the budget allows, then you should get a waterproof watch or player. A stylish bathrobe or terry towel is always appropriate. But from the purchase of swimming trunks is better to refuse - it is too personal a thing, such an offering may seem tactless.
For a basketball instructor, you can buy some practical thing, such as a thermos or a backpack bag. If you prefer a gift to be memorable, then order a statuette with the inscription "Basketball Star" in any advertising agency - most likely, your souvenir will take its rightful place on the same shelf with cups, award medals and other awards. For a football coach you can consider the same options.
For a boxing instructor, taekwondo, karate and judo will be a useful horizontal bar so that the instructor can always keep himself in proper shape at home.
If your sports mentor has a good sense of humor, he will most likely appreciate the punching bag - with it he will be able to continue his “workouts”, even sitting at the table. For weightlifters, mentors for functional all-round and crossfit, you can opt for shakers used to make sports nutrition mixes - Such a thing is not only very convenient, but also looks quite impressive.
For a gymnastics instructor you can always buy a quality stopwatch or choose one of sports equipment. You can burn a disc with popular coach tunes and who knows, maybe listening to these songs will inspire him to create his new winning programs. Since in most cases this sport is in women's hands, then the presents can be typically ladies - perfumes, cosmetics, accessories for stylish hairstyles. But the choreographer can buy a cup with a three-dimensional image of a dancer, all kinds of accessories and a bag. Donating dance shoes is not worth it - it is a necessary thing, but buying it without fitting is dangerous. If you want your gift to be useful, simply present the dance teacher with a certificate to a specialized sports shop. A good option for a choreographer would be speakers for listening to audio recordings, and statuettes depicting a dancing couple or a ballerina on pointe would be appropriate for a girl dancer.
Classic Gifts
Outside of competition there is always sports paraphernalia - it is necessary and useful to any coach. Most likely, a big bag for traveling is useful to a mentor, especially if a coach often leaves for training camps and competitions with his players. But to give clothes, including the form is considered unethical. It is more appropriate to buy the following special equipment for sports:
- a set of dumbbells;
- bar with pancakes;
- punching bag and gloves;
- steppes;
- barrier.
However, it is not necessary to associate a New Year's present with the sports side of the instructor’s life, this statement especially applies to coaches in adulthood who, most likely, received more than once the most varied attributes of sports gear. If you intend to actually present something unusual, then buy him personal items.
For example, if your instructor has a car, then you can buy some stylish and at the same time useful accessories for the car. For example, a mini-kettle that is activated from the cigarette lighter, complete with a mini-mug would be very appropriate.
If your mentor does not yet have a DVR or gadget for navigation, the New Year's holiday will be a good reason to finally fix it. To the group of useful things include the speaker system and car alarm, as well as your instructor, most likely, will appreciate the massage cape on the seat.
If you are planning to buy a personalized gift, then you do not need to purchase an expensive thing - in this way you simply put the person in an uncomfortable position. There are many budgetary, but always relevant options, namely:
- mat for occupations;
- sports bottle for water;
- manual expander;
- trinket - charms in the form of a punching bag, a tennis racket and a ball for football look very impressive, and the hockey coach can pick up a miniature copy of the stick;
- t-shirt and t-shirt with the text - it can be both a comic message and a powerful motivator.
Your instructor is most likely to need a business card holder, stylish pen. In most cases, people who are professionally involved in active sports try to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adhere to the principles of proper nutrition, so you can present a juicer, yogurt maker or a book with the best PP recipes for the New Year.An accessory to gadgets - a cover on a smartphone, a backlight for a computer keyboard or a flash drive - will never be superfluous. And if your coach is a woman, then she will most likely be given soft toys and jewelry, for example, a pendant.
If the gift is collective, then it can be a memorable, for example, the following presents will be a good idea:
- photo collage - it is made from joint photographs with the coach, most likely, he will decorate a wall in his office with such a poster;
- photo album - another original idea, in this case, you need to come up with an original text in each photo and be sure to leave wishes from each pupil;
- video film About the coach is a very unusual, but always a nice gift.
The coach is an ordinary person, albeit a very strong one, therefore from time to time he also needs rest. A barbecue grill or a hammock will be a surefire gift, and if an intellectual is a sportsman, then you can solemnly give him a chess or a puzzle, certainly in a beautiful package.
Cool New Year's gifts
Not everyone can afford to choose bold creative gifts, not every mentor can appreciate the sense of humor of his pupils. But if you are 100% sure that you are a person who adores jokes and practical jokes, We recommend that you consider one of the following options:
- personal Hollywood star;
- alarm dumbbell;
- instructor's portrait in an image unusual for him, for example, in the form of Julius Caesar or maybe even Peter the First;
- sports newspaper with a note about the instructor on the first page.
Funny gifts are invariably pleasant, and the favorite treats of a person will help to make the impression of the present even brighter.
And of course, we must not forget that Christmas gifts always have their winter specifics, so you can buy mittens or a scarf for your mentor.
It is always appropriate to have a warmer blanket - this is a universal gift that will appeal to both man and woman.
Just try to pick up such a product so that it has a themed New Year print. Always useful is a mug with winter ornaments, as well as Christmas-tree toys.
