What are some common challenges faced by tactical strength coaches when working with law enforcement or military personnel?

Tactical Strength Coaches often encounter challenges such as accommodating irregular and unpredictable schedules, adapting training programs to account for job-specific physical demands, and balancing the need for fitness improvements with injury prevention. They must also communicate effectively with personnel who have varying fitness levels and may be resistant to change. Building trust and demonstrating the direct impact of strength training on job performance are key components to overcoming these challenges and achieving successful outcomes.

Both roles require a focus on physical fitness, but Tactical Strength emphasizes strength training for operational readiness, whereas Physical Therapists focus on recovery and injury prevention.

To thrive as a Tactical Strength and Conditioning Coach, you need a solid background in exercise science, human physiology, and strength training, often supported by certifications like CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) or TSAC-F (Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator). Familiarity with performance tracking systems, fitness assessment tools, and injury prevention protocols is essential. Strong leadership, communication, and adaptability help you effectively motivate and train tactical professionals in dynamic environments. These skills ensure the safety, resilience, and optimal performance of military, law enforcement, or first responder personnel.

Job description

Resolution Think is searching for a Strength & Conditioning Specialist to support the Air National Guards Human Performance Optimization Program. This is an embedded human performance role supporting the Air National Guard (ANG) Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) and Air Force Special Warfare (AFSPECWAR) community. You will work side-by-side with elite tactical athletes — TACP Officers (19Z) and TACP Specialists (1Z3) — whose operational readiness depends on staying durable, recovering quickly, and performing at the highest level. The Human Performance Optimization (HPO) program treats the operator as a "human weapon system," integrating physical therapy and strength and conditioning to reduce injury risk, accelerate recovery, and extend career longevity.
Locations:  Camp Murray, WA 
Salary: $65,000 - $75,000
Employment type:  Full-time,
Schedule:  Monday - Friday core hours 0700–1500
Job Description: 
  • Design, implement, and teach a cohesive, comprehensive strength and conditioning program for TACP personnel across a wide range of ability levels.
  • Provide an initial performance evaluation within one week of a member's request; complete a needs analysis identifying deficits, goals, and risk factors; and build a tailored program spanning rehabilitation, performance training, strength and conditioning, and rehabilitation.
  • Deliver individualized training programs no later than 14 calendar days after evaluation, created alongside the Physical Therapist where applicable, with a focus on long-term, holistic health — including nutrition and recovery (rest, sleep, and mobilization).
  • Screen for factors affecting performance and readiness — flexibility and mobility, muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular fitness, and body composition — to inform programming.
  • Implement neck and spine strengthening protocols designed to enhance physical capacity and durability for TACP operators.
  • Meet individually with each operator at least semiannually to assess fitness and review goals; document outcomes and report trends to unit leadership.
  • Build rapport, motivate operators, and deliver briefings, educational sessions, and seminars on health, fitness, and physical performance.
  • Employ modern, evidence-based best practices and validated functional assessments, including approved third-party fitness and nutrition technologies.
  • Advise unit commanders on strength and conditioning matters; develop SOPs and identify program improvements. Assist with conditioning-equipment inventory and supply recommendations.
  • Maintain credentials and continuing education; document encounters in mandated Government systems in compliance with HIPAA and the Privacy Act.

Minimum Qualifications: 
Candidates must meet or exceed every requirement below. Documentation of each is required at the time of application.
  • Education: Master's degree or higher in Human Performance, Kinesiology, Exercise Science, or a related field.
  • Experience: 5+ years of full-time experience as a Strength & Conditioning Specialist in collegiate (or higher), professional, or tactical athletics; the aerospace industry; test pilot/astronaut support; or a similar man-machine, high-performance environment.
  • Certification: NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) OR CSCCa Strength and Conditioning Coach Certified (SCCC), plus current basic CPR certification including AED training.
  • Security Investigation: All work is performed at an unclassified level. A favorable Tier 1 security investigation is required. 
  • Citizenship: US Citizenship required
