Supervise members and private clients in the use of free-weight, equipment based, and body weight resistive exercise. Knowledge and experience in doing so is vital. If student-athletes are allowed to continue using improper technique then injury resulting in hospitalization, surgery and even death are potential consequences. Educate clients on proper lifting techniques of free weights and machine lifting. Several types of lifts are required. Every type of lift requires a different skill development as different muscles and/or angles of lifting are being focused on. Improper technique could cause major structural and muscular damage. Develop, monitor and instruct speed, agility and conditioning programs for designated sports performance clients. Each sport client will have specific criteria needed depending upon the demands of the sport at the time of year in comparison to their playing season. Track client progress on the computer, develop a file system and adjust workouts depending upon gains of each individual and season of lifting that the client is in. Clients must be carefully monitored during workouts for signs of dehydration, excessive fatigue and overstepping proven physical, mental and emotional limitations of the clients. Required to evaluate, select, and train competent members of the Sports Performance, Health and Wellness team. All other duties as assigned by the management staff. Hourly pay scaled commensurate with experience.
