Job description

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 be D1, D2 or D3 colleges or training to make a JV or Varsity team in High School. 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 the field, whether baseball or any sport. We primarily have baseball players in our gyms but are happy to expand to hockey, golf, basketball, etc., all requiring speed training, agility drills, and 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, 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.

Job Summary

We are seeking a Strength & Conditioning Coach who can prioritize Baseball focused needs like speed, agility and power yet understand how strength and power play a defining role in everything we do. As a Strength & Conditioning Coach, we would like someone who will perform fitness assessments, design customized training programs, develop the athletic prowess of primarily baseball players (and other sports) and provide insights on injury prevention. Your primary goal is to help clients define their fitness objectives, on-field needs to compete at higher levels and to understand how to communicate with players and parents alike. We are about tracking information and creating benchmarks to measure progress so a process is very important to us. We need someone who has a strong understanding of how the body works scientifically and can optimize strength, speed and endurance.
