Could Your School Benefit? | training-conditioning.com
This is important for school administrators to realize they should hire a CERTIFIED strength and conditioning coach to train their healthy athletes. When someone loads a bar with 100+ lbs and lifts it over their head it just makes sense that someone be there who has taught them the proper technique and safety.
Could Your School Benefit? | training-conditioning.com
Hiring a professional strength and conditioning coach might seem like a low priority for high schools struggling with finances. But the benefits far exceed the cost.

A lot of coaches believe in using running to discipline players for a host of things from being late, to silly penalties incurred during a game, to everything and anything in between. Mike Leach is one of the coaches out there that does not believe in that approach. A coaching colleague of mine poin...

NCAA to examine strength coaches' certification, oversight process - FootballScoop
Members of the NCAA’s oversight body have previously announced an ambiguous investigation into the highly-murky football staffing process. They don’t know what their goals with the investigation are, they can’t state exactly why they’re looking into it, but they’re looking into it. For instance, one...

Epic Strength Index
Just returned from the NSCA convention in Las Vegas. This group celebrated their 40th year. Always a great opportunity for strength and conditioning professionals to gather together and share their knowledge. I saw so many new companies in the exhibit hall like PRI and VOLT. Also good to see old friends at Hammer Strength, Power Lift, And Gatorade to name a few. I did not show my new timers and Jump Station. You'll have to look at those on my websites, www.epicathletic or epicstrengthindex.com. With school started just around the corner be sure you have what you need to make it a great year!

The unregulated world of strength coaches and college football’s killing season
This is eye opening! Thirty-two kids die because someone believes they are qualified to run a strength and conditioning program. Shame on the NCAA, Head sport Coaches, Athletic Directors and powers that be for bending the rules.
The unregulated world of strength coaches and college football’s killing season
When all that's needed is a 21-hour course to become a certified NCAA strength coach, is anyone actually considering the best interests of student-athletes?

Oregon strength coach suspended after football players hospitalized
The Strength Coach should never report to the Head Coach. Strength and Conditioning should never be used as a form of punishment. The NCAA has said a Strength Coach should be certified but they do not police that policy well and it seems that they should.
Oregon strength coach suspended after football players hospitalized
Irele Oderinde was suspended one month without pay and, according to ESPN, the university also has revised its system of reporting. The strength and conditioning coach now answers to the director of performance and sports science instead of head football coach Willie Taggart.

Guide to Hiring a Strength and Conditioning Coach
A great article! Certification of your Strength and Conditioning Coach is important and the skill set of a strength coach is NOT the same as that of a trainer and definitely not that of a sport coach. You are hurting your program and your athletes when you think you don't need a certified professional in the position.
