Stress (Definition). Stress affects most people in some way. Acute (sudden, short-term) stress leads to rapid changes throughout the body. Almost all body systems (the heart and blood vessels, immune system, lungs, digestive system, sensory organs, and brain) gear up to meet perceived danger. These stress responses could prove beneficial in a critical, life-or-death situation.
To become a strength and conditioning coach, you typically need at least a Bachelor of Science degree in an area such as Kinesiology or Exercise Science, although some employers may require strength and conditioning candidates to have a graduate degree in one of these areas.inding a strength and conditioning coach that currently works in the field and asking for an opportunity to work as an assistant, an intern, or as a volunteer, is a great way to gain first-hand experience in strength and conditioning coaching while you are still a student.
Step 1. Talk to as many strength and conditioning coaches as you can to find out more about the field. Find coaches at your local gym or community center or at local high schools or colleges, and ask them for a few minutes to talk about the realities of the job.
