Self & Team Management – Magglingen, Switzerland

The position of you as a strength & conditioning coach is special as you are only responsible for a certain part of the development of athletic performance. The coach is part of a team of specialists with separate roles and responsibilities. The coach receives instructions from the head coach, from data specialists and the medical department gives various guidelines for the design of the training. But the origin of the analysis of the role of the strength & conditioning coach within a team, lies with that individual. These aspects will be examined more precisely in this last module.
