How do you respond to “what is your profession/job? (Coaches)

[Jaymac77]

• Hi everyone, I’m a USPTA instructor and whenever I get asked what my job is or what I do for a living I’ve always been curious about what other instructors/pros reply with. For those of you that are certified and talking to someone who knows nothing about tennis what do you tell them when they ask what you do for work? Professional tennis coach, tennis teaching professional, tennis pro, tennis instructor, tennis coach, or something else? Would love to hear from any and all coaches certified or not what they reply with. Thanks all

In all honesty, I've been billing myself lately as a tennis hobo.
