Strength And Conditioning Coach

Description:

The student will work closely with other sports therapists, S&C coaches, sharing the assessment, programmes, and rehabilitation of athletes during a training week. The student coach will be expected to liaise with the whole MDT to discuss progress and advise on playing and/or training time. The student will have autonomy; however, should consult with the Lead S&C Coach before finalising any decisions regarding exercises, management, and/or loading strategies.

The role will involve developing coaching style, administrative and communication skills that are required in the field of S&C. This will include using technology, platforms and apps that are used on a day to day basis for athlete and data management.

The ability to think critically about coaching problems and immersing yourself in practical coaching experiences will be fundamental to this role. The student will be forward thinking and encouraged to express ideas on how to develop and improve the delivery of S&C across the Sports Park. This will include attending weekly performance team meetings to share knowledge, review exercises, report on injuries, and discuss on-going issues that will improve the working relationship within the performance team.
