Strength and conditioning coaches design and monitor training for the demands of cricket, usually within a multidisciplinary performance team.
What you will do
Assess athletes, programme training, monitor load and collaborate with coaches and medical staff.
Where you could work
Workplaces vary by role and level, including clubs, schools, community programmes, governing bodies, academies and professional teams.
Common entry routes
Common routes include volunteering, recognised training, supervised experience and progression through increasingly demanding environments.
Working arrangements
Cricket work often includes evenings, weekends, seasonal peaks and travel. Full-time, part-time, contract and voluntary arrangements all exist.
Paid and voluntary work
Entry opportunities are often voluntary or expenses-only. Paid work becomes more common as responsibility, qualification and experience increase.
Career progression
Progression normally combines practical experience, feedback, continuing learning and appointments at a higher level of competition.
