Become a Certified SSP Coach & Learn How to Change the Lives of Your Athletes, Grow a Thriving Business, & Ultimately, Change YOUR OWN Life.
Coach,
If you are constantly seeking self improvement as a Coach so you can better serve your athletes then you've come to the right place. I firmly believe that great Coaches are always in search of the slight edge; constantly seeking ways to improve their knowledge in training and business because as I always say, "Good enough is the death of Greatness."
Since 2008 I've been consulting with and certifying coaches from all around the world. I've worked with Coaches who range from the private sector to the University sector of all levels (D3, D2 and D1 Coaches).
More Important Now than Ever Before in the Strength & Conditioning Field.....
You must be Armed with the Most Effective Training, Business & Communication Skills to Stay at the Top of Your Game.
You Need Business Knowledge to Balance Your Training Knowledge because the Only Guarantee in our field is that there are NO Guarantees.
At The SSPC Cert, you Will Learn Exactly how to Thrive as a Strength & Sports Performance Coach in Today's World.
Below is a break down of how things are going to work at the SSPC (Strength & Sports Performance Coach) Certification.
First off, do NOT rush through this page. Please watch the entire video above before you read the rest of the page.

______________
"This was my first ever big in person education purchase so I was definitely a bit nervous about not just the price, but the whole trip in general. However, you and Mike were so passionate, kind and down to earth it made the whole experience entirely worth it."
______________
"I've attended a number of seminars and certifications over the last decade and none of them have provided the transparency with their methods, detail in their content, or support for their coaches that Zach does in the SSPC Certification."
______________
"The knowledge I came away with was game changing. And thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone with some of that speed, agility, even front squats with that form and hang cleans. I'm pretty damn sore today!"

Running a Business & Coaching has Changed Dramatically through the Years
The way I coach today has changed through the years (I began coaching in 1995) and quite dramatically through these recent years. Along with running a warehouse gym, the business side of things has changed as well.
Coaches at the collegiate level have seen and experienced the volatility and so now more than ever before, college coaches MUST learn the business side of things. Nothing is guaranteed at the college sector.
My buddy always tells me, "The only guarantee in college / professional strength & conditioning is that there are NO guarantees." That is an unfortunate truth and so you must be able to count on yourself first & foremost.
ALL Strength Coaches Must Learn to become their Own CEO
Looking at the private sector today compared to yester-year, the mindset of athletes and parents is different and with "Strength Coaches" on every other corner of every town, you do have "competition". You must learn how to thrive in a crowded marketplace while staying true to your core values. You will learn exactly how to do so at The SSPC Certification.
The Underground Strength Gym has had staying power because we focus on changing lives first & foremost. Success is NO accident. I look forward to sharing all of my training and business experiences with you so you can "plug and play" this system into your own.
You Will Learn the Proven Training Methods & Business Model to Help Your Business THRIVE
Our athletes often begin training with us in middle school or the early years of high school. They continue training with us until college, and then they return during every college break.
We are able to experience this type of loyalty from our athletes because our training methods and our genuine relationships truly changes lives. We don't need all the fads & gimmicks that the others "experts" are peddling. That is NOT what works for long term success.
Many of our athletes train with us for 6 or 7 years before going to college. You can't achieve that with poor training methods and poor communication skills.
The skills you'll learn at The SSPC Cert will give you the tools you need to Transform Your business into a Long Term Success Machine.
You need systems in place, both for yourself and eventually, for your Coaches, which you will learn during The SSPC Certification.
- How to train an athlete on day 1 and progress them through your training
- How to communicate with parents and other coaches properly and effectively (the wrong communication will put you out of business)
- How to train athletes in your own gym, a place you're renting from or without a gym (outdoors)
- How to train athletes in groups while individualizing for them and giving them exactly what they Want AND Need.
- Learn how to adjust training for different age groups, different sports, different times of year (in season, off season, pre season, etc)
With so many fads and gimmicks out there, it's time to give yourself the training and business tools you need to take your passion and truly earn a living from it.
Looking forward to seeing you soon at The SSPC Certification!
