Requirements

DESCRIPTION

Masters Track (2 years)

• On the coaching side of this employment role you will be hands-on training competitive athletes of various sports and ages levels. You will receive formal coaching training in progressive sports performance methodologies and long term athlete development.
  On the education side of this role you can be engaged with course-work on highly relevant topics equipping you with advanced knowledge of human physiology, functional anatomy, and biomechanics related to S&C programming. This education will enable you to critically evaluate, create, and advance new trends/issues within the sport science industry.
  After successful completion of this employment term you will receive a Masters degree awarded by our University partner Concordia University, St. Paul. For course curriculum see HERE. This degree is completed entirely online.

Doctoral Track (~4 years)

• On the coaching side of this employment role you will be hands-on training competitive athletes of various sports and ages levels. You will receive formal coaching training in progressive sports performance methodologies and long term athlete development.
• On the education side of this role you will be conducting innovative investigations (ideation, data collection, analysis, interpretation) within the sport science domain. There are 4 different topics you can choose to focus your employment on: 
  • Athlete Physiological & Readiness Monitoring
  • Biomechanical Profiling (DSI, RSI, RSImod, FVP, Impulse)
  • Velocity-Based or Triphasic Training Methodologies
  • Coaching Theory / Motor Learning
  • Mental Skill Determinants or Psychometrics for Talent Identification & Development
  • General Strength & Conditioning
• Throughout this PhD process you will collaborate with world-class practitioners and scientists.
• Unlike in many industry-embedded graduate degrees, your applied research is not a “side deal” or something “you do on your own personal time”. Here, you have dedicated time for desk and study work, data collection, etc. Your employment is built around doing the research and coaching because we take our internal R&D extremely seriously.
• After successful completion of an approximately three-year coaching and applied research project (some coaches may require longer to complete the project) you will receive a PhD degree from one of our University partners – James Cook University (AUS) or University of Salford (UK).

• In both tracks, the experience affords you a place to live (for free) and work, access to the needed data, full health and dental insurance covered, tuition fees fully paid for, and a rewarding coaching experience that impacts the real world. Although you, the student-employee, are responsible for your own food/entertainment/etc. money we believe this opportunity is better than most all graduate/postgraduate situations in existence.
• This experience will equip you with an invaluable skill set that sets you apart from other candidates in the employment marketplace afterwards. You will become a high level coach with the ability to translate academic research into practical solutions which can be utilized in real-world scenarios. This affords you a distinct competitive advantage throughout your career.
