THE OPPORTUNITY
D1 Newtown has a growing base of youth, high school, collegiate and adult athletes, along with school, team and organizational partnerships throughout the area. We're looking to add passionate, experienced coaches who can step onto the floor and deliver exceptional training experiences. This can be an ideal opportunity for someone looking for a few additional hours and additional income each week doing something they genuinely enjoy.
WHO WE ARE
D1 Training is an athletic-based training facility focused on building a community of athletes who train and reach their goals together. Beyond the workout, D1 coaches build character. Ours is a community where athletes of every age learn discipline, hard work, and integrity alongside real fitness results. When you coach at D1, you're not just leading a workout — you're helping shape who our athletes become.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're not looking for someone who simply enjoys working out; we're looking for a coach:
- You understand that Sports Performance is more than bodybuilding, powerlifting or putting athletes through difficult workouts.
- You understand how strength, speed, acceleration, deceleration, change of direction, power, plyometrics, mobility, conditioning and movement quality work together to develop better athletes.
- More importantly, you know how to coach it.
- You can command a training floor.
- You notice details.
- You communicate clearly.
- You can connect with a 12-year-old athlete, a varsity starter, a college athlete and a parent.
- You bring energy regardless of whether you're coaching two athletes or twenty.
- And when the session starts, you coach.
THIS COULD BE A GREAT FIT IF...
- You previously worked in Strength & Conditioning or Sports Performance and still miss coaching.
- You currently have a full-time career but would love to coach athletes a few afternoons or evenings each week.
- You're currently a personal trainer who wants additional coaching hours without having to constantly prospect for clients.
- You're a former collegiate athlete who has transitioned into coaching and understands how athletes should be developed.
- You're an experienced coach looking to supplement your current schedule and income.
