Strength and Conditioning Coach

  • After graduation, it is required to take and pass the NSCA exam to coach at a university.
  • Other special certifications are needed to coach specific workout classes such as Pilates, yoga, spin, etc.
  • This career is all about connections and who you know. My strength coach at Towson told me it is very important to take internships with coaches who can help you find a job.
  • Currently the salary ranges from 60k-85k for NCAA strength and conditioning coaches.
  • It is not a very stable job especially early in a coach’s career because coaches are constantly being changed and the whole staff usually gets fired with them.
