STRENGTH COACH WITH RAPID GROWTH TO MANAGEMENT: Are you a GA or a Head Strength Coach looking for an amazing opportunity to work with one of the premiere sports performance companies in the country? After 3 months of training at our headquarters in Minnesota, you could have the opportunity to become the Director of our soon-to-be ETS Germantown facility.

ABOUT ETS PERFORMANCE: Since 2010 ETS has produced over 2,500 D1/D2/D3 athletes, 200+ Pros, and over 50,000 athletes in total from various sports; football, hockey, basketball, softball, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, swimming. With nearly 40 locations in the USA, this is the perfect time to embark on a career with a thriving team. We’re looking for true leaders who will GROW WITH US as we expand in the United States.

PRO ATHLETE STRENGTH & CONDITIONING DIRECTOR: TRAIN THE PROS AND UP AND COMING STARS. We are looking for athletes who know what it takes to perform at the highest level and have a passion to guide and motivate the next wave of athletes with the desire to achieve UNCOMMON results.

THE IDEAL MATCH TO LEAD OUR TEAM: 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.

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE ATMOSPHERE AND DEVELOPMENT: In addition to being aligned withETS Partner NFL All-Pro ADAM THIELEN, KIRK COUSINS, and CJ HAM 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.

TRUE CAREER GROWTH: 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 along with personal development growth and promotions plan that can’t be matched.

THE METHOD: 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 bio-mechanically 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 bio-mechanical 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.

SERIOUS GAINS AND GOALS: 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.

We are seeking motivated Strength and Performance Specialists that are searching for a unique opportunity to work and flourish in the private sector of the Sports Performance industry.
