ISSA Strength and Conditioning
Strength and conditioning coaches have a fascinating position. They are experts in movement and use that knowledge in very specific performance-based niches.
A strength and conditioning coach trains performance-based clients and athletes of all ages and skill levels. Although they can help improve overall fitness, most clients' goals revolve around improving or developing a particular skill or improving sports performance. The expertise that a strength and conditioning coach provides can help improve motor skills, improve performance, and reduce injury.
Programming from a strength and conditioning coach can be a combination of strength training, speed and agility training, power training, skill-related drills, flexibility training, and balance training. Although performance training is a huge component of their knowledge base, a strength and conditioning coach must also have an extensive understanding of how the body adapts to stress and recovers to be able to implement appropriate periodization. Coaches will need to know how to monitor mental and physical fatigue to ensure they are progressing the client or athlete towards their goals and not increasing their chance of injury.

ISSA Certified Exercise Recovery Specialists have a passion for improving the quality of their clients' lives beyond their scheduled workout.
