Is it possible to work my way into being a strength or strength

>Is it possible to work my way into being a strength or strength & conditioning coach for a school team without an exercise science or other related degree?
yes. but you won't be paid a lot nor work for any big time school/team. you will probably be a high school football weightlifting coach. and you probably don't even make minimum wage due to only working an hour or two after school each day. basically, it would be a hobby.
>Is it possible through other certifications and training achievements?
this is the only way to get that job without degrees. no amount of pretty works or juicy arms will land you a job like that without at least a PT cert or something of the sort.


tl;dr no degree no big boy job. enjoy coaching the muddogs, 42 players in total (this is from freshman to senior, not just varsity), on how to squat better

If you play highschool ball you could probably volunteer coach at your old school, they will not pay you and with 0 credentials you would probably make next to nothing even at `the largest private school

No fucking way you could work at a college with 0 credentials. With all of the hoops and regulations schools have to jump through, you would be a waterboy at best. Also, at any given school there are a few dozen athletic science type majors fighting for that type of work already.

Just because you enjoy lifting does not mean you should be a coach, if it doesn't happen it is probably because there are people more passionate than you for this

You'd have to be extremely lucky to even get picked up by a high school and even then you're not going to make much. Also I think most of the time those positions are just open to teachers who want to make some extra money or volunteers. College you'll be laughed out of the room

Got it, thanks for the feedback. I'm not looking to do it for the money. Regardless of major job or not it'd probably be best to find a way to get the degree.

Completely makes sense about the colleges. The highschools will be worth looking into, I think.

Agreed on colleges. I'm more in the boat of already having a career but wanting to do this as well, or eventually switch to this if I can amass the experience and credentials.
