Often a coach is more than just a sports instructor; for many athletes, he becomes an authority as important as his parents. It is a coach in difficult times that helps to achieve goals, overcome fear and self-doubt, get rid of established patterns. This man teaches to be bold, decisive and assertive. Such a mentor as a gift for the New Year should prepare a special gift.
Subtleties of choice
To give the trainer joy, try not to postpone the purchase of the presentation on the last days of December - think over your present in advance. To do this, perform the following tasks:
- analyze features sports activities, as well as human hobbies;
- gather maximum information about equipping his car and the availability of gadgets;
- it will be worthwhile to find out what preferences trainer for popular brands and manufacturers;
- think about the purpose of the gift - Do you want it to be pragmatic, original or memorable.
It is difficult to choose a gift for a person about whom you know almost nothing, so you need to try to collect as much information as possible about your mentor in order to make the right choice.
Keep in mind that the present should be thought out literally to the smallest detail - it should not be unpleasant for a person, in no case should it hint at flaws or external defects.
You should not give a gift anonymously - it is always more pleasant to each person to know from whom the sign of attention is received.
Be sure to take care of the original packaging - a present hastily shoved in a package with the logo of the nearest supermarket will spoil the whole impression of the gift. Well, and, of course, do not forget to remove the price tag - this is bad taste.
Specialty Gift Selection
When buying a gift, you must first take into account the sport in which the trainer specializes. So, for fitness instructors, you can pick up the following gifts:
- a bath towel - the trainer will be especially pleased if you additionally write on him the initials of the trainer or the touching phrase “to the best instructor”;
- high tech gadget, allowing to calculate the set and expenditure of kilocalories;
- stylish set from a bandage on the head, as well as gloves and wristlets;
- daily planner in a stylish cover where the trainer will be able to mark the result of classes and make adjustments to his daily plans.
When selecting a presentation for the coach of the team of swimmers and athletes of other water sports (water polo, triathlon, sailing or rowing), you can stop at the original swimming cap with an unusual picture or funny text in the subject. If the budget allows, then you should buy a waterproof watch or player. A stylish bathrobe or terry towel will always be appropriate. But it is better to refuse to buy swimming trunks - this is too personal a thing, such an offering may seem tactless.
For a basketball instructor, you can buy some practical thing, for example, a thermos or a backpack bag. If you prefer the gift to be memorable, then order a statuette with the inscription “Basketball star” at 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 these options.
For a boxing instructor, taekwondo, karate and judo, a horizontal bar will be useful, so that the instructor can always keep himself in good shape at home.
If your sports mentor has a good sense of humor, then he will most likely appreciate a boxing punching bag - with it he will be able to continue his “training” even while sitting at the table. For weightlifters, mentors in functional all-around and crossfit, you can opt for shakers used to make mixtures of sports nutrition - such a thing is not only very convenient, but also looks pretty impressive.
For a gymnastics mentor, you can always buy a high-quality stopwatch or choose something from sports equipment. You can record a disc with popular tunes by the coach and who knows, maybe listening to these compositions will subsequently inspire him to create his new winning programs. Since in most cases this sport is in female hands, then presentations 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. Don’t give dancing shoes - this is a necessary thing, but it’s dangerous to buy it without trying on. If you want your gift to be useful, simply present a certificate to a dance teacher in a specialized sports store. Columns for listening to audio recordings will be a good option for a choreographer, and figurines depicting a dancing couple or ballerina on pointe shoes would be appropriate for a girl-dancer.
Classic gifts
Out of competition is always sports paraphernalia - it is needed and useful for any coach. Most likely, the mentor will need a big bag for traveling, especially if the coach often goes to training camps and competitions with his wards. But giving clothes, including uniforms, is considered unethical. It will be more appropriate to buy the following special devices for sports:
- a set of dumbbells;
- pancake bar;
- punching bag and boxing gloves;
- steppes;
- barrier.
However, it is not necessary to associate the New Year's present with the sports side of the instructor’s life, this statement especially applies to coaches in adulthood, who, for each holiday, most likely received more than once the most diverse attributes of sports equipment. If you intend to actually present something unusual, then buy him personal items.
For example, if your instructor has a car, you can buy any stylish and at the same time useful accessories for the car. For example, a mini-kettle, which is activated by the cigarette lighter, complete with it is very appropriate mini-mug.
If your mentor does not yet have a DVR or gadget for navigation - the New Year holiday will be a good occasion, finally, fix it. A group of useful things include the speaker system and car alarms, and your instructor will most likely appreciate a massage seat cover.
If you plan to buy a personalized gift, then you do not need to purchase an expensive thing - in this way you simply put a person in an uncomfortable position. There are many budget, but always relevant options, namely:
- mat for classes;
- sports bottle for water;
- manual expander;
- trinket - trinkets in the form of a punching bag, a tennis racket and a soccer ball look very impressive, and a miniature copy of a club can be selected for a hockey coach;
- T-shirt and T-shirt with text - it can be either a comic message or a powerful motivator.
Your instructor is likely to come in handy with a business card holder, a stylish pen. In most cases, people who are professionally involved in active sports, try to maintain healthy lifestyles 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 will never be superfluous - a cover on a smartphone, backlight for a computer keyboard or flash drive. And if your coach is a woman, then she will most likely like soft toys and jewelry, for example, a pendant.
If the gift is collective, then it can be memorable, for example, the following presents will become a good idea:
- photo collage - it is made from photographs shared with the coach; most likely, he will decorate the 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;
- the video about a coach is a very unusual, but always a pleasant gift.
A coach is an ordinary person, albeit a very strong one, therefore, from time to time, he needs a rest. A charcoal grill or a hammock will become a win-win gift option, and if the athlete is an intellectual, you can solemnly give him chess or a puzzle, without fail 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 students. But if you are 100% sure that this is a person who adores jokes and practical jokes, then we recommend that you consider one of the following options:
- personal Hollywood star;
- dumbbell alarm;
- instructor portrait in an unusual way for him, for example, in the form of Julius Caesar or maybe even Peter the Great;
- sports newspaper with a note about the instructor on the first page.
Funny gifts are invariably pleasant, and your favorite treats will help to make the impression of the presentation even more vivid.
And of course, we must not forget that New Year's gifts always have their own winter specifics, so you can buy mittens or a scarf for your mentor.
It will always be appropriate to warm a plaid - this is a universal gift that will appeal to both a man and a woman.
Just try to pick up such a product so that it has a themed New Year print. A mug with winter ornaments, as well as Christmas toys, will always come in handy.
