Head Coach – D1 Training Evans

Salary: $48,000–$55,000 + performance incentives

D1 Training Evans is seeking a Head Coach to lead coaching operations, develop athletes, manage staff, and help grow a new training facility from the ground up. This is more than a coaching role—it is a leadership position responsible for building a high-performance culture, delivering elite training experiences, and developing a team of coaches committed to excellence.

The Head Coach will lead daily training sessions, mentor coaching staff, oversee operational execution, and ensure every athlete and member receives a best-in-class experience. The ideal candidate combines strength and conditioning expertise, leadership presence, and operational discipline.
