How to get into coaching?

I've been playing League and watching the professional for awhile, and I want to get into either coaching or analysis with any team. I was wondering how to go about getting into the coaching scene as well as what credentials people might like?

For anyone looking, I am currently finishing up a double degree program in music and education, both of which are fields based on teaching and motivating people to perform at their absolute best level. I watch a lot of current vods and follow the meta quite closely in every major pro scene, and while that doesn't translate into my mechanical play in game, I play a smart game and contribute the best I can in my games.

Does anyone have any suggestions to getting into the coaching scene?

1st off you wanna actually be good at the game. Maybe at least being diamond 1 would help. If I was high elo I wouldn't listen to a silver player. Get good at the game and then you could become a good coach. Low silver elo isn't cutting it.

be top 50 challenger, suck everyones dicks in solo q, offer coaching to other challengers you play with who are in ranked 5s teams that are aiming for the NA challenger series, coach them into the LCS, get replaced by a retired pro player, attempt to go back into normal employment after wasting at least 2 years of your life, gg

You have to have a high rank for people of high rank to even consider listening to you
