Episode 395 Rahul Vashishtha: Coaching Pathways & Breaking into North America

In this episode, I’m joined by Rahul Vashishtha, currently at Bates College and soon to take on the Assistant Coach role at Louisville Collegiate School. Rahul has taken a truly global path through the game—starting in India, moving into national-level coaching in Singapore, and now building his career in the United States. We dive into that journey, but more importantly, we focus on the realities behind it. This episode is particularly valuable for young and aspiring coaches looking to break into the North American system. We unpack the key challenges that often don’t get talked about enough—especially when it comes to navigating visas, securing opportunities, and adapting to new coaching environments and cultures. We also explore: The differences in coaching culture across India, Singapore, and the US What the US college system looks like from the inside Practical advice on finding coaching opportunities abroad Strategies that helped Rahul successfully transition between countries What to expect when it comes to lifestyle, work environment, and career progression If you’re an aspiring coach with ambitions to work internationally—or simply curious about what it really takes to build a coaching career across borders—this is one you won’t want to miss.
