A typical day

For a full-time club coach: afternoon and evening practices, because athletes are in school or at work all day. Plan the session, run it, give feedback, talk to a parent about playing time. Weekends are competitions and travel. For a university coach: recruiting calls and video in the morning, practice in the afternoon, games on weekends, and a season that never really ends. For a part-time coach: a day job, then the rink or pitch at 6pm.
