ETS Sports Performance Specialist

Join ETS Partner Adam Thielen as we open additional ETS Sports Performance locations across the country!


Position Overview:

We are seeking motivated and experienced Strength and Performance Specialists that are searching for a unique opportunity to work and flourish in the private sector of the Sports Performance industry. The ideal candidate would have a strong interest in working with youth, high school, college and professional athletes in an electric atmosphere utilizing proven next level training and business systems that continue to set ETS apart from the competition. In addition to being aligned with ETS Partner and NFL All Pro Adam Thielen among other notable current and past professional athletes, the candidate will immediately be surrounded by one of our elite ETS Sports Performance Facility Directors along with a host of other successful ETS Performance Specialists from across the country. The entire “ETS Family” will be there to assist and support the Performance Specialist to enhance and maximize the development of our athletes at the highest possible level. This opportunity includes a very competitive industry level salary, full benefits along with a financial and personal development growth and promotions plan that can’t be matched.


ETS Training Philosophy:

The ETS training philosophy is to provide every athlete (regardless of age and sport) the opportunity to significantly improve their relative strength, power, linear and lateral speed, ability to biomechanically master the art of deceleration while also significantly improving their overall athleticism and becoming less prone to injury. Our systematic and step by step approach to developing better athletes will dramatically improve performance on the field, court, track, pool or ice.

Each athlete will take part in a progressive ability-appropriate plan of strength, speed, agility and deceleration training that will not only allow them to maximize their skills and athleticism for their sport, but also improve their overall athleticism. It’s crucial for every athlete to develop the basic-fundamental athletic and biomechanical movements, strength techniques and deceleration protocols through a customized plan in order to truly maximize their potential.

We believe the missing link in most programs is the lack of consistent and professional emphasis and attention to detail on the basics of an athlete’s complete athletic development separated from their sport-specific skill work. Our vision is that every athlete will experience an unmatched next level training atmosphere that is equally focused on character development, accountability and competition as it is the next level performance results that every athlete will gain. Our goal is for every athlete to leave each session understanding the physical objective for that session, but also understand the importance of consistency, dedication and commitment to ensure they are maximizing their results.


Position Qualifications:

  • Post graduate experience in the Strength/Conditioning or Performance field.
  • Must be a former competitive athlete and possess an accredited professional certification.
  • Outgoing, motivating and personable with a willingness to learn and continue growing.
  • Sports-minded with a strong desire for continual development of leadership skills.
  • Enjoys working with kids of all ages and ability levels.
  • Patient yet persistent with the task at hand.
  • Exercise Science/athletics or business background.
  • Accountable and dependable - on time and willing to put forth the extra effort.
  • Graduating GPA of a 2.5 or higher.


The ETS Opportunity:

With ETS being in significant growth mode we are looking to develop our Sports Performance Specialists in preparation for a larger role within our company. Mastering of the unique ETS training and business systems will provide each Sports Performance Specialist the opportunity to enter in our “ETS University Pool” of development to run and operate one of our new upcoming ETS locations.

In recap, this unique and one-of-a-kind opportunity offers the following:

  • Competitive fair market base salary, 401k, + incentives.
