    The Your Gym Sports Performance S&C Foundational course introduces practitioners to the fundamental key principles that underpin the strength and conditioning process. This unique online learning experience outlines the key objectives of a strength and conditioning coach, the multi-disciplinary team, and the overall performance training and injury prevention process. Furthermore, practitioners are introduced to vital theoretical concepts including the force–velocity–power relationship, bioenergetics, motor learning models, and much more. Finally, coaches are tutored on the essentials of periodisation and programming, and how to implement effective warm-up strategies within practice. All this is underpinned by additional video tutorials, learning materials, and a variety of online assessment methods, with links to our extensive exercise library. Our S&C Foundational program aims to prepare, develop and motivate coaches within their personal practice, whilst introducing practitioners to the foundational principles of strength and conditioning and performance training.
