Description

So you want to become a physical preparation coach? Or perhaps you’ve been in this role for some time and are looking for further direction.

The aims of this book include: firstly, to give you insight into this component of the sporting industry; secondly, to help you avoid many of the pitfalls that those who have gone before you have fallen into – myself included! (Why not learn from the mistakes of others?); and thirdly, to give you some models from which to shape your behaviour in this industry.

What others have said

Thanks for compiling such a great book ‘So you want to be a strength and conditioning coach’. This is definitely required reading for any strength and conditioning coach

Utilizing the information contained in this book I have just finished negotiating an extremely favorable contract. Had I not read the book I would have been challenged to negotiate such a great deal. Thanks again,—Joey

Having read the 2nd edition so many times over as well as using it as a reference for lecturing at University and within the KSI Coach Internship Program, it amazes me, the timeless relevance, of its information.  As with all of the products within the KSI range, the information is based on a deep and consistent understanding of principles and philosophy for both client and business success. 

Having said that, make no mistake (i’m preaching to the choir here), the content of this book can have a massive impact on the business and career of anyone involved in physical preparation whether they be just starting out or are a veteran in the industry. The new information in the 3rd edition offers even deeper insight in to what it takes to succeed in this business.  The additions are as timeless and valuable as the original!!

I strongly recommend this book as the very first book of purchase in a KSI library – or any library of someone who wants to win in this industry.  It provides straight, blunt, real world information from someone who has been there, knows the challenges, knows how to succeed and relay it to the reader.  Thanks again for being a mentor to myself, my family and an entire industry.—Mike Pimentel
