I am not an ad but i am currently studying in grad school to become an ad.
I know that when i was playing college baseball in 2011my pitching coach made 8 grand and he had been there for 4years. He made most of his money doing lessons at the baseball facility. So i wouldnt go anywhere cloae to that figure but let the assistant coaches do lessons. I would also look into hiring recent college grads that played at a high level of competition. This will give you leverage on how much to pay them because they are fresh out of college looking for work.
I also would like to ask you if you or anyone that you know are in need of an intern that is studying to become an ad. Please let me know if this information was useful and if you could help me out with my job search.
Thanks
