Strength and conditioning coaches are routinely considered key members of the team working to prepare athletes for sport competitions. This has led to substantial confusion over the roles of strength and conditioning coaches and their working relationship with sport coaches. For example, when detailing their job tasks strength and conditioning coaches have described ineffective and stressful relationships with the sport coaches they work with (Duehring & Ebben, 2010; Laskowski & Ebben, 2016). The purpose of this paper was to solicit information from collegiate level strength and conditioning coaches specific to their working relationship with sport coaches. Fulltime strength and conditioning coaches representing all National Collegiate Athletic Association divisions responded to a series of 10 questions. The respondents provided a variety of examples detailing their experiences working with sport coaches and provided advice for both strength and conditioning and sport coaches to improve the working relationship for the betterment of the athletes.

“…I used the tool as an entry point, even if it was just a conversation starter. I didn't use it recently at a NCAA D1 Power 5 school -it was 100% my observation, my strength and conditioning background, knowing what I've seen that's been successful, the three S&C roundtable papers I've co-authored [3][4][5] have really helped me learn from outstanding coaches. SPRJ: So the roundtable papers were borne out of your professional work?…”

“…I used the tool as an entry point, even if it was just a conversation starter. I didn’t use it recently at a NCAA D1 Power 5 school – it was 100% my observation, my strength and conditioning background, knowing what I’ve seen that’s been successful, the three S&C roundtable papers I’ve co-authored 3–5 have really helped me learn from outstanding coaches. SPRJ : So the roundtable papers were borne out of your professional work? AG : Yes, they were consulting questions that I reached out to S&C coaches soliciting feedback and really just a conversation, turned it into a paper, which turned into presentations, which turned into more consulting, so all of it comes together. In reality, the biggest difference between my consulting work and publishing papers is just the methods section.…”

Insights are provided from a coaching consultant's work with sports teams, including helping coaches in figure skating cope with parents who were always in their way; being unable to help a women's soccer coach eliminate toxic behaviour from senior players; devising a goal setting programme involving peer assessment in women's soccer that was successful in motivating reserve players on the bench during matches; empowering a pitcher in women's softball as a solution to a head coach's poor relationship with his pitching coach; facilitating culture change in a figure skating club by rewriting the club coaching contracts; and improving team cohesion in women's volleyball through role play in the locker room.

“…Male and female students are experiencing similar levels of improvement. This has practical application taking into consideration that the "theoretical knowledge" is the background and the main factor upon which the coaches will have to base their work [9] [16] [29].…”

Background: The primary aim of students specializing in a sport is to acquire full scientific knowledge on that sport. Furthermore, a qualitative objective of the specialization is to enable the future coaches to acquire good knowledge on the theoretical aspects of that sport. Methods: On the basis of the curriculum, the students of the Department of Physical Education and Sports (DPES) are examined on the theoretical knowledge they hold on issues related to tennis, e.g., technique, tactics, regulations, etc. at the beginning of the academic year, by answering a questionnaire of 80 questions. In order to assess the level of improvement of this knowledge the students answered the same 80 questions at the end of the academic year. The sample consisted of 23 male (11) and female (12) tennis students of the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science (aged 21.20 ± 1.23 years). Results: The results revealed significant improvement in all 5 knowledge groups between the two measurements. Although no significant differences were found between male and female students, this improvement was of a different kind. In the "technique" and "knowledge about the racket" related questions, males prevailed over females, whereas female students were superior in the "rules section". Conclusion: In the field of theoretical knowledge the level of education at the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science was, according to the findings of the study, satisfactory.
