CSCCa Strength Focus
Below are eight essential skills I've utilized over my
33 years as a collegiate strength and conditioning
coach. These skills have helped me establish credibility
as an effective professional, and have led to my ability
to influence the athletes, coaches, and staff I've worked
with to push forward the central team culture and make
consistent progress.
1
BE INTELLIGENT. There's one common reality
to every athlete you'll ever coach; they're human.
So, study the human body (functional anatomy &
physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise science,
and psychology) to gain an intelligent
understanding of the human structures and
systems you are working with. Study the
science and art of program design, and
very importantly, study the sport(s) you
work with.
2
BE DEPENDABLE AND
TRUSTWORTHY.
A team's culture is about more than just
what everyone does, it's about how they do
it and what they stand for. Former University
of Nebraska strength coach Boyd Epley told
me, " If the strength coach is not aligned
with the head coach's philosophy and vision, he or she
shouldn't be that coach's strength coach, period. " The
sport head coach needs to trust you and have 100%
assurance you're a dependable extension of him or her.
3
BE A CONFIDENCE BUILDER. Your influence should
be heavily weighted towards building the athletes'
confidence in their strength development and sports
performance. In speaking with Virginia Tech Hall of Fame
strength coach Mike Gentry about building confidence,
he said to " think it gets to the essence of what's most
important in developing a winning culture. During the offTREAT.
