The 1-year contract position is designed for young professionals looking for mentorship, growth, and hands-on coaching experience.

Responsibilities:
- Coach up to 25 hours per week (additional hours & responsibilities available for full-time employees)
- Assist in developing and implementing individualized training plans within small-group settings for youth, high school, collegiate, and professional athletes
- Conduct athlete assessments to evaluate strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement
- Support athletes in strength & conditioning, speed & agility, mobility, and injury risk mitigation
- Collaborate with coaches to ensure a holistic approach to athletic development
- Monitor athlete progress and adjust training programs accordingly
- Educate athletes on nutrition, hydration, and recovery practices
- Uphold a commitment to long-term athlete development and contribute to their overall growth
Qualifications:
✔ Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Exercise Science, Kinesiology, Sports Science, or a related field (required)
✔ CSCS certification required within the 1-year contract period (higher pay for those already certified)

Benefits:

- Structured holiday breaks & flexible vacation options
- Supportive & collaborative work environment focused on growth & excellence
- Opportunities to work with a diverse range of athletes and build connections in collegiate & professional sports
- Better pay than most entry-level/graduate assistantship positions
