Strength Coach Network Fundamentals 2
Broke, a day from being fired, and with a terrible family life
If you’ve completed Strength Coach Network Fundamentals, you’re a serious coach. If you’ve been able to put the materials into practice, by now you should have at least landed yourself an internship or your first paid position as a strength coach. Congratulations!
The problem is: the default position of those in the mid to lower levels of our field is still broke, a day from being fired, and with a terrible family life. But all three of these problems can be alleviated by rising to the top of our profession and becoming a senior assistant, director of strength and conditioning, or high performance manager.
Once you start to reach these senior positions you’ll start to be paid more fairly, often handsomely. As a senior member of staff, you’ll also be much harder to fire and replace within your organisation. And, most importantly, you’ll be more able to delegate to others and dictate your work hours to spend more time with your loved ones.
It can and SHOULD be in your plans to rise up the career ladder as soon as possible, and Strength Coach Network Fundamentals 2 is your blueprint to doing it.
Do NOT be a victim of your own success
A quick look at our field will tell you that the numbers do not work out. There are less junior assistants than interns. Fewer still senior assistants than junior assistants. Directors? Only one in any department! And High Performance Manager jobs are so rare that sometimes they don’t even exist in organisations.
At every level of our field, there are losers who fall to the wayside. The most common reason for this failure is being a victim of the success that got you to the previous level, and repeating the same behaviours.
An intern who gets by on being enthusiastic, working hard and always being available is still likely to get a paid job or recommendation elsewhere. But a High Performance Manager who relies on the same limited qualities to win championships will find himself or herself quickly fired. What got you here won’t get you there.
The job of being a strength and conditioning professional becomes more and more complex the higher you rise, and you and your coaching must evolve to match it if you are to rise up the coaching ladder and stay there.
Get out of the dreaded middle
Why is it that some coaches reach the very top of our field before the age of 30, but others languish as assistants for decades and plateau? We studied the fast risers and identified 3 major traits they share in common.
We’ve made them the foundations of Strength Coach Network Fundamentals 2 so that you can implement them in your own development, while avoiding the mistakes that can keep you in the dreaded middle of our field- underpaid, overworked and easy to fire.
1. Depth
Captain obvious: the best coaches in the industry are masterful technicians. They pair broad theoretical knowledge with outstanding practical application. They always strike the target of right athlete, right training, right amount, right time.
When training needs to be modified or adapted- for a particular time of year, a special population, or unusually high or low readiness to train- they do so quickly and efficiently. If the situation calls for more advanced training tools or methods, they’re comfortable using them.
In Fundamentals 1, we established the theoretical foundation by exploring the major training tools of the strength & conditioning coach and the underpinning mental models and processes. In Fundamentals 2, it’s time to put that into practice and learn how to wield those tools like a master.
2. Technology & systems
Until you’re measuring, you’re guessing. The more often and more accurately you’re able to gather data about the outcomes of the decision you’ve made, the better your ability to close the loop and iterate your work over time. You should be able to get progressively better results, faster and easier with each passing year of coaching.
Those at the top of our field effectively leverage technology and systems to make data informed decisions and achieve higher quality, more consistent outcomes. As they rise up the ladder, this becomes important not just for training, but in the non-training processes occurring in the building each day AND in the people working in the building.
“Dress for the job you want” says the cliche. Well, work for the job you want too. If you aspire to be a director or high performance manager at the highest level, you need to be able to effectively manage others and build systems into your department. Fundamentals 2 will get you on the right path.
3. Integration
We know that the stress response is singular in nature. All forms of stress tap into the same limited physical capacity to recover. Every athlete stakeholder from sport coaches, to medics, to strength coaches should account for this fact in every session they plan and every decision they make. But until that day, it is your job to help them do so.
The most prominent, best paid high performance managers in our field are facilitators. They have a basic understanding of how everyone in the building does their job, how it affects their own work, and most importantly how they can help others to be more productive.
They help everybody in the organisation to put the athlete at the centre of everything. They’re the hub through which information flows and decisions are made. Not only is this the most effective performance model in team sports, it has the added benefit of making you highly paid and indispensable to your organisation.
Strength Coach Network Fundamentals 2
In building Strength Coach Network Fundamentals 1 we asked ourselves “If we could lock our younger selves in a room for an intense weekend of learning, what would we want that coach to leave with that would jump them to the front of the job line, and dramatically accelerate their professional development for the rest of their career?”
For Fundamentals 2 the question was “If we had a weekend to help you become the most effective senior assistant or Director of Strength & Conditioning you can be,  in the shortest space of time possible what would we teach you?”
The result is another 20 hours of taught materials, with an additional 20 hours of self directed study and demonstrated learning. We’ve built upon the curriculum of Fundamentals 1 to put together a much more practically minded and applied curriculum that is all about one thing: results in the real world. We’ll build upon old topics and explore new ones.
Sign up for Strength Coach Network Fundamentals 2 and you’ll get access to modules on key training topics including:
Advanced Speed

Advanced Agility

Advanced Jump & Plyometrics

Advanced Power

Advanced Strength

Advanced Nutrition

Advanced Motor Learning

Rotational Power Development

Long Term Athletic Development

Return To Play

Tactical Periodization

Sport Technology

Performance Psychology

Systems & Management

Fluid Periodization
We’ve put together the same holistically minded curriculum as Fundamentals 1 and then some more! Our goal is to make you the most well rounded practitioner possible.
All modules are mixed media in nature- primarily video with supporting text and graphics. We provide an extensive supporting reading list of books and freely available papers to provide you with necessary background and context, and flesh out the concepts being discussed.
You’ll also get the opportunity to demonstrate your learning at the end of each module by taking a quiz. Be warned: this is not spoon feeding. You will not pass these quizzes by just skimming and guessing. This is the exactly the kind of stuff we are trying to combat. We purposefully made it so that you have to consume the full module to answer the questions! No thinking = no value!
We’ve also included the ability to comment on each module in case you want to provide feedback, ask small questions or provide input about modules or materials that you want see from us in the future.
Lastly, you will receive a certificate of completion, which like every other certificate in this industry serves no other purpose than to flex on social media and give free marketing to the company producing the education. But when you do it with us, it’s post modernist and tongue in cheek.

As ever our primary criteria for our presenters was skin in the game. If you do not make your living getting results in the real world, you cannot contribute to this course, and each of these individuals has done so at the highest levels of sport.
They bring DECADES of elite level of experience to the table, across a wide variety of sports, pairing the theoretical with the practical, and most importantly they get fired if they do shitty work or give shitty advice, which is the definition of skin in the game.
How to know this course is NOT for you
Remember: this series of courses is intended only for strength & conditioning specialists who aspire to work at the highest level of team sport possible. General population coaches are better served by investing their money elsewhere, likewise coaches who operate in the stopwatch sports like powerlifting, weightlifting or track.
Whereas Fundamentals 1 was appropriate for all, you should also be at least an intern or junior assistant (including GAs) to take Fundamentals 2. If this does not apply to you yet, we recommend you first concentrate on applying the materials from Fundamentals 1 to land a gig. After that, Fundamentals 2 is for you.
