We are looking for an elite Strength & Conditioning Coach who thrives on the turf and is ready to support every athlete—whether it’s a high school hopeful, a college-bound star, a professional athlete, a 40-year-old mom aiming for peak fitness, or a young athlete training for the first time. If that sounds like your calling, keep reading!

    If you want to be excited about coming to work every day, impact thousands of lives, and play an instrumental role in growing the D1 Brand across the USA, this is the job for you.

    If you're not prepared to work with ALL athletes (ages 7-60, in 1-on-1 or group formats), please DO NOT apply.

    Essential Skills Required for This Position:

    CHARACTER You must embody high energy and resilience every single day. At D1 Training, we work hard and play hard. Bring the energy and passion. If you don’t “bring the juice” daily, this may not fit you.

    COACHING Our athletes range widely in age and ability, and we’re looking for a coach who can jump in on day 1 and be ready to work with any client. From group classes to one-on-one personal training sessions, we train athletes of all levels and backgrounds. We need someone with a deep love for coaching and respect for each individual’s journey.

    TEAM PLAYER D1 Training is a team-first environment. Coaches don’t “pick” their clients; rather, every coach must be prepared to work with athletes of all ages and skill levels in various formats, from group sessions to individual training.

    Job Duties for Head Coach:

    Oversee and ensure all functions of the coaching team meet D1 standards

    Develop and uphold a coaching culture that aligns with D1 Training’s mission and values

    Mentor and support other coaches to elevate team performance

    Program training sessions, both group and individual, for a variety of athletic levels

    Foster an environment of growth, motivation, and excellence

    Drive growth by actively engaging in community outreach and prospecting for new clients

    Sales, Prospecting & Clientele Building As a Head Coach, you’ll also play an essential role in driving the growth of D1 Training by actively prospecting and building a solid client base. You’ll connect with local sports teams, schools, and fitness organizations to promote D1 Training services and build lasting relationships. Your role includes:

    Networking Engaging with local sports teams, high schools, clubs, and community organizations to introduce D1 Training’s programs and establish partnerships. Representing D1 Training at local sports events, exhibitions, and networking opportunities to attract potential clients.

    Client Retention & Referrals Providing a world-class experience that retains clients and encourages them to refer friends, teammates, and family members. You’ll work closely with the team to design strategies that keep our clients motivated and returning for their fitness goals.

    Sales & Upselling You understand and promote our full range of services to new and existing clients, including group training, 1-on-1 sessions, and specialty programs. You’ll take an active approach in explaining program benefits and upselling where appropriate to enhance client outcomes.

    Outreach Campaigns Developing and executing outreach campaigns that attract a diverse clientele, from young athletes to adults looking to improve their fitness. You’ll have the autonomy to create outreach plans aligned with D1’s mission and expand our reach across the local market.

    A Day in the Life of a D1 Head Coach:

    Morning Kickoff You start your day ready to help athletes reach their goals. You arrive at a state-of-the-art facility with top-tier equipment, including an indoor turf field. This is a facility that has helped produce NFL draft picks, earned college scholarships for athletes, and supported countless members in achieving their fitness milestones—because of coaches like you.

    Team Check-In You’re surrounded by a team of A-players—fun, friendly, and performance-driven. You check the day's schedule, set a goal to hit the top of the coaching leaderboard and prepare for a successful day.

    Coaching Adult Classes You lead a class of 10-24 adults (ages 18-60), preparing the space and equipment, organizing the workout, and keeping the energy high with music and encouragement. You lead warm-ups, manage transitions between the turf and weight room, demonstrate movements, and ensure that every participant leaves feeling accomplished.

    1-on-1 Sessions From working with an 8-year-old soccer beginner to a 17-year-old football player preparing for college, you provide custom programming, schedule clients, and deliver a world-class training experience.

    Youth Classes You end the day leading a scholastic class for ages 7-18, just as you did with the adults, providing an exceptional experience for every participant.

    End-of-Day Success You wrap up your day with a message from a one-on-one client who’s reached a major goal after months of dedicated training with you—another testament to the world-class coaching experience you provide.
