Strength and Conditioning training involves a wide range of exercises developed to build a variety of skills with a focus on mind, mobility, stability, strength, endurance, power, speed, agility and performance.
Strength and Conditioning programs are generally developed specifically to improve performance in athletic competition. They also help with injury prevention and develop the proper mechanics within an athletes sports performances.
Like personal trainers and group exercise instructors, Strength and Conditioning coaches help others to improve their fitness. But Strength and Conditioning coaches differ from the others in one very important way – the clients they work with are focused on improving their performance or skill in a sport. This is why strength and conditioning coaches work primarily with athletes.*
A key point to remember is a balanced training program that includes a range of Strength and Conditioning exercises will provide a strong foundation in developing the necessary skills to enjoy any chosen sport or activity.
Strength and Conditioning coaches have two primary goals.
  • The first is to improve athletic performance, which usually means improving athletes’ mobility, stability, strength, endurance, power, speed, agility and performance.
