Overview
Location: Warrington, Cheshire - based at our Athlete Performance Centre, with some travel and remote working
Salary: £30,000+ per annum, dependent on experience
Hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week
Reports to: Dr. Tom King, Founder
The Role
You’ll coach professional and aspiring athletes, and you’ll do considerably more than coach.
- In one week you might profile a footballer, adjust a programme after a match, take someone through the last phase of a rehab, and help develop cutting-edge sports tech through our sister company, Metrics.
- We’re a small team, so what you do lands. You’ll own your athletes and make the calls, rather than deliver someone else’s plan.
What You’ll Do
Coaching and Athlete Performance
- Profile athletes, run performance testing, and track progress against it
- Design and deliver individualised strength and conditioning programmes built around each athlete’s sport, season and club demands
- Deliver one-to-one and small-group sessions in the gym and on the pitch
- Support injured athletes through rehabilitation and return to performance, working alongside medical professionals
- Adapt programmes as the data and the athlete’s season change
Managing Athletes Through the Framework
- Run your athletes through KPI’s Athlete Performance Framework - Discovery, Support and Coaching
- Periodise across macro, meso and micro cycles
- Communicate with athletes, clubs, agents, parents and practitioners - a real part of the job, not an afterthought
- Produce educational material that helps athletes understand their own performance
- Help keep the day-to-day running of our services tight, which in a team this size is everyone’s job
- Represent KPI on external visits and at workshops, presentations and events
