What should the actual requirements to become a strength and conditioning coach be, and where can governing bodies do better to regulate these credentials? This has been a hot topic for quite a while in our small corner in the world of sport and exactly why I wanted Andrew Langford on The Podcast. Andrew is the director of the International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association, which is a new accreditation organization that’s providing a lot of great support to helping improve our profession, where they’re main objective is to bridge the gap between schooling/research and practical experience/coaching on the floor. Throughout the talk Andrew dives into the role of research in education, it’s limitations within journals, the role of data collection, mistakes coaches may be making with it, and the power of a staff audit in bringing more value and displaying how things can improve.
