THINGS TO CONSIDER: What parents/Coaches
should ask and recruits should know.
We realize that
choosing a college is a difficult decision, and
the more information that a prospective student/athlete can get, the
easier the decision will be. We also realize the University of
Connecticut isn’t the only college or university that the prospective
student/athlete will be looking into. With that in mind, here are some
of the questions that the prospective student/athlete should know the
answers to before they choose a school with a strength and
conditioning program.
1.Does
the staff have related science degrees, more specifically, master’s
degrees; and are they certified by the NSCA or the USAW to be a
strength and conditioning coach?
2.Will
I have individualized workouts based on strength and conditioning
levels?
3.Will
I receive constant supervision from qualified staff members?
4.
Will the weight room be reserved for my teammates and me or will it
have open times for any student/athlete at any time.
5.What
type of strength training facility will I be training in?
6.Will
the team have their own strength and conditioning coach or is the
strength and conditioning program the sole responsibility of the sport
coaches.
7.Does the school place student/athlete’s
experience as a top priority?
