Strength & Conditioning Coach

Who are you? We are a baseball player development center with about 18K of new facility space and a large gym that needs to be built out. Our client focus: occasional elementary schoolers and primarily middle school, high school and college players who are looking to get to the next level whether it is D1, D2 or D3 colleges or training to make a JV or Varsity team in High School. Our goal: to observe the small details in form, in discipline and in how to build our athletes into better performers. The strength and power generated has to be converted to reaction time, balance, stability, core strength, lateral movement patterns and speed (to name a few identifiable results). We have several former pros who work with our crew and we need weekend warriors who can drop in early and train our athletes. Our culture is serving the obsessive athlete who wants to compete and perform at their optimal levels on field for baseball. This means we need a strength coach who is equally or even more passionate about training, understands the human body, movement patterns, constantly learning to improve oneself and is willing to communicate with our baseball instructors. We primarily have baseball players in our gym and want to enhance baseball specific skill sets through specific patterning or repetition. That said, creative models of training is welcome! We need a strength coach who understands how to build strength, power and speed training, mobility, agility drills, focus on small and large muscle groups. We have notable collaborations with outside organizations across the US and it is a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge and network with our ventures. We have been in business for about 3 years and moved locations recently to house our expanding clientele. Our culture is about putting our clients first, serving their needs and wants to the best of our ability. We value communication, ability to converse comfortably within the context of your craft, be able to execute on consistent deliverables and support one another with team meetings and engagements. We will be hosting seminars on a variety of different topics as regards health and wellness. We are in build out mode so this is a perfect opportunity for those who have an entrepreneurial spirit and can go with the flow, juggling perhaps multiple roles within the day as a trainer. Your hourly fee will be contingent on your qualifiers. If you have certifications and more degrees in learning, this will bump up your salary and offerings. We need passionate and resolute problem solvers who can work through a process and a plan, as part of a team.
