Strength and conditioning is the practical application of sports science to enhance athletic performance, healthy habits and movement quality.

​

Strength Coaches are well versed in all aspects of the body and human performance. Coaches must understand functional anatomy, physiology, physics, concepts of mechanics, and psychology. 

​

A coach is much more than a source of information.  A coach is a leader, a teacher, a mentor, an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on

​

Traditionally, credentialing within strength and conditioning (S&C ) requires a university level degree.  This means Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS) must possess a formal college education in order to qualify for accredited credential exams.  Additionally, these exams require a passing score of 80% to earn the CSCS credential.
