What is a performance coach?

A Performance Coach is a professional who helps individuals or teams reach their full potential by improving their skills, mindset, and effectiveness. They work with clients to identify goals, overcome obstacles, and create actionable plans for success. Performance Coaches use strategies such as motivation techniques, feedback, and accountability to drive personal and professional growth. They can work in various settings, including sports, business, or personal development, tailoring their approach to each client's needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a performance coach, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Performance Coach, you need expertise in motivational strategies, goal setting, and behavior change, often supported by a background in psychology, sports science, or coaching certifications. Familiarity with assessment tools, data tracking software, and performance analytics systems is commonly expected. Exceptional communication, active listening, and interpersonal skills help build trust and inspire clients to achieve their potential. These skills and qualifications are crucial for effectively guiding individuals or teams toward measurable growth and sustained high performance.

How does a performance coach typically collaborate with other professionals to support client development?

Performance Coaches often work closely with a variety of professionals, such as HR managers, team leaders, and subject matter experts, to create comprehensive development plans for clients. This collaboration ensures that coaching strategies align with organizational goals and address both individual and team needs. Regular communication and feedback loops help Performance Coaches adapt their approach, track progress, and ensure accountability. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team enables coaches to provide more holistic support and drive sustainable performance improvements.

What is the difference between Performance Coach vs Personal Trainer?

Work EnvironmentCorporate, sports teams, individual coaching sessionsGyms, fitness centers, private studios
Employer & IndustrySports organizations, corporate wellness programs, individual clientsFitness industry, health clubs, personal clients

While both roles focus on improving performance, a Performance Coach works on mental strategies, motivation, and overall performance enhancement across various domains, often in corporate or athletic settings. A Personal Trainer primarily focuses on physical fitness, exercise routines, and health improvements. The two roles may overlap in goal-setting but differ in scope and expertise.

How do you become a performance coach?

To become a performance coach, individuals typically need relevant experience in coaching, training, or a related field, along with strong communication and motivational skills. Many pursue certifications such as the International Coach Federation (ICF) credential or specialized training programs to enhance credibility and knowledge. Gaining practical experience through internships or working with clients is also important for career development.

What qualifications do you need to be a performance coach?

To become a performance coach, individuals typically need a background in sports science, psychology, or related fields, along with relevant certifications such as Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) or coaching credentials.

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.
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits package.
  • Opportunity to enter in our Directors in Training (ETS University) Pool for future growth, promotion and expansion opportunities.
