Employment
JOB TITLE:
- Sports Performance Coach / Sport Scientist
DESCRIPTION (2 PATHWAYS):
- This dual role we offer (S&C Coach and Applied Sport Scientist) is part of an exciting ongoing applied sport science agenda which both past and present coaches have contributed to in our dynamic staffing model. There are two employment tracks you can choose from:
Masters Benefit Track (2 years)
-
- On the coaching side of this employment role you will be hands-on training competitive athletes of various sports and ages levels. You will receive formal coaching training in progressive sports performance methodologies and long term athlete development.
- On the education side of this role you can be engaged with course-work on highly relevant topics equipping you with advanced knowledge of human physiology, functional anatomy, and biomechanics related to S&C programming. This education will enable you to critically evaluate, create, and advance new trends/issues within the sport science industry.
- After successful completion of a this employment term you will receive a Masters degree awarded by our University partner Concordia University, St. Paul. For course curriculum see HERE. This degree is completed entirely online.
Doctoral Benefit Track (~3 years)
-
- On the coaching side of this employment role you will be hands-on training competitive athletes of various sports and ages levels. You will receive formal coaching training in progressive sports performance methodologies and long term athlete development.
- On the education side of this role you will be conducting innovative investigations (ideation, data collection, analysis, interpretation) within the sport science domain. There are 4 different topics you can choose to focus your employment on:
- Biomechanical Profiling (DSI, RSI, RSImod, FVP, Impulse)
- Velocity-Based or Triphasic Training Methodologies
- Mental Skill Determinants or Psychometrics for Talent Identification & Development
- General Strength & Conditioning
- Athlete Physiological & Readiness Monitoring
- Coaching Theory / Motor Learning
- You will be guided throughout this process by world-class practitioners and scientists.
- Unlike in many industry-embedded graduate degrees, your applied research is not a “side deal” or something “you do on your own personal time”. Here, you have dedicated time for desk and study work, data collection, etc. Your employment is built around doing the research and coaching because we take our internal R&D extremely seriously.
- After successful completion of an approximately three-year coaching and applied research project (some coaches may require longer to complete the project) you will receive a PhD degree from one of our University partners – James Cook University (AUS) or University of Salford (UK).
- In both tracks, the experience affords you a place to live (for free) and work, access to the needed data, full health and dental insurance covered, tuition fees fully paid for, and a rewarding coaching experience that impacts the real world. Although you, the student-employee, are responsible for your own food/entertainment/etc. money we believe this opportunity is better than most all graduate/postgraduate situations in existence.
- This experience will equip you with an invaluable skill set that sets you apart from other candidates in the employment marketplace afterwards. As a master level coach with the ability to translate academic research into practical solutions which can be utilized in real-world scenarios, you will gain a distinct competitive advantage throughout your career.

Sport Science 101
Sport Science 101
The origins of the english word “athlete” are unclear yet it most likely comes from the Greek word “athlos” which means achievement. Regardless of it’s origins, differentiating between the modern day athlete and a “general population” person or “exerciser” is important for both scientific and business purposes. The International Journal of Sports Physiology & Performance suggests “individuals who train for a competitive or performance goal rather than exercise for health and well-being” can be classified as athletes. Another internationally recognized sport science and medical journal suggests in order to be considered an “athlete” one must simultaneously meet ALL of the following criteria:
- be actively engaging in sports training, where the main motivation or goal is to improve sport specific skills, performance, or results (technical, physical or tactical) for competition,
- be actively engaging in sport competitions unless injured or in competition break,
- be formally registered in a local, regional or national sport group,
- have sport training and competition as his/her main physical activity or focus of personal interest, devoting several hours per week or more, depending on the phase of season/competition.
At PRECISION, our focus is solely on training athletes. We define “athlete” as a person who meets ALL four of the above criteria. If a person does not meet the PRECISION criteria, then they are considered part of the “general population” and are not eligible to apply for training at PRECISION.

Colloquial speak and the literature offer many definitions for “sport science” simply because there is currently no legislation restricting the terms usage or definition. Therefore, many definition’s and usages are allowed and will be used. Here are some options with the first three being colloquially used definition’s and those after being research-based definitions:
Sport Science is the study of sport.
Sport Science is a field.
(“field” – a particular branch of study or sphere of activity or interest)
Sport Science is an industry.
(“industry” – a particular form or branch of economic or commercial activity)
Sport Science can be defined as the study of maximizing competitive athletic performance.

PHYSICAL / ATHLETICISM training focuses on speed, agility, strength, explosiveness, flexibility, sport-specific conditioning, etc. Physical training is what you do at PRECISION’s facility. SKILL / TECHNIQUE training focuses on ball dribbling, stick handling, offensive/defensive tactics, plays, etc. Skill training is what you do with your sport coach at practice/games. Physical training and Skills training require different expertise and generally take place in different places at different times – one at the field/court/ice (skill training) and the other at PRECISION’s facility (physical training). Skill training and physical training are also done with different frequencies. The amount of time spent doing each depends on the level of athlete and time of year.
Only quantification and objectification can allow us to begin answering questions like:
“How do I know which physical qualities to train?”
“How do I know when to start and stop different training methods?”
“Is my physical training transferring to my performance in the game/competition?”
At PRECISION, we use progressive statistics and data science methods to help answer these questions as well as others. Training programs, results, and progress need to be objectively tracked, giving the athletes and their financial supporters the ability to trust in results that actually matter.

“Specialization” means the athlete only practices and competes in one single sport for most or all of the year and no others. “Early” and “late” do not refer to specific ages but rather the relativity of when an athlete specializes during the human growth years (i.e. childhood vs adolescence). “Early specialization” refers to an athlete choosing to specialize during the childhood years and “late specialization” refers to an athlete choosing to specialize during the adolescent years. Retrospective research studies were done to identify when the current world’s best athletes specialized (earlier or later) in order to make recommendations for up and coming youth athletes. It was found that in most team sports, specializing later maximized sporting outcomes whereas for individual sports specializing earlier maximized the athletes’ sport outcomes.
The reverse is also true: if an athlete plays a team sport (i.e. a “late specialization sport”) yet chooses to specialize early (in childhood) the athlete is LESS likely to maximize their athletic potential long term and are more likely to sustain injury.

Data science is an interdisciplinary field about processes and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured. It combines contributions from mathematics, statistics, and computer science that is applied to a range of different domains in business, government, and academia such as sport science. Data scientists can collect, explore, visualize, and analyze data to answer research questions, test hypotheses, and make predictions about sports performance. Examples of data science include data visualizations, predictive algorithms, analyses of massive quantities of data, evaluating the results of training programs for athletes, evaluating the transfer of said results to actual game day performance, and profiling athletes.

Testimonials
Parents
Precision Sport Science has made a massive difference in my sons athletic development and I couldn’t be happier with his progress. I certainly expected improvement in speed, agility and strength (which has exceeded expectations), but these other benefits of his training are what have truly astounded me:
1. My son’s been training at PRECISION for over 4 years and has had no real injuries in sports. As my son enters the phase of rapid growth change they put a focus on the science of proper body alignment and training which I believe optimally prepared his body to help avoid injury and perform at its maximum level.
2. My son genuinely wants to come to PRECISION twice weekly and work hard. Their program has fostered an attitude of personal development as it relates to diet and exercise that I am certain will last a lifetime.
3. PRECISION coaches connect with their athletes on a level that goes far beyond the typical coach/athlete relationship. This fosters and enthusiast attitude toward training and a maximum level of enjoyment to the point where I bring both my kids to PRECISION now.
I highly recommend Precision Sport Science and encourage anyone interested to give it a try.
DAVID, MENLO PARK CA
My 12 1/2-year-old son has been training at PRECISION for years and has not only greatly benefited from the experience but also remained injury free! He is hitting puberty both strong and balanced. Aidan is a very active athlete, since training with PRECISION he is performing better than ever on the field. He is faster, more explosive, and has better reaction times. Training 2 times a week year round has tremendously improved his overall athleticism. Aidan and I are very proud of the results he’s experiencing and he never wants to miss a training session. PRECISION has helped him set appropriate goals and achieve them. In addition to the coach’s expertise in training youth athletes, they are great role models and people. Their positive, “can-do” attitude has motivated our son to be his best in many areas of his life.
RUTH, ATHERTON CA
We had been hearing about Precision Sport Science for a while but what finally made us apply for services were the results that we were seeing from their athletes. Both my daughter and son now train at PRECISION and we have seen immediate results. The coach spent more time, effort and energy then any coach my children have ever had. PRECISION’s sessions are focused on improving the athlete’s body, dexterity, and athleticism. However, as parents what we notice is increased confidence from our kids, less injuries, and a renewed desire for their sport. I wish I could sign up!
