NSCA ASSISTANTSHIP PROGRAM The NSCA offers five (5) assistantships each year to qualified candidates who wish to further their careers in the strength and conditioning field.

NEWS & UPDATES

NSCA.COM which gave me the opportunity to develop and implement programs, and contribute to the department, basically as an assistant coach. I learned how to collaborate with other coaches, and we were lucky enough to coach the 2012 Division II Football National Championship team. The NSCA Assistantship Program definitely allowed me to gain the necessary experience I needed to become a full-time strength and conditioning coach and I do not know where I would be today if I had not been awarded the position.

NSCA ASSISTANTSHIP PROGRAM INTERVIEW: BEN HOFFMAN Ben Hoffman is entering his first year as the Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at Webber International University. He completed the NSCA Assistantship Program while at Valdosta State University (VSU), working predominately with women’s soccer, football, and baseball. He was part of the university’s first two women’s soccer seasons and helped the football team prepare for their 2012 Division II National Championship. Prior to VSU, Hoffman received his Master’s degree in Physical Education from the University of Houston in 2010. While at Houston, he volunteered with the Cougar’s Sports Performance Department, working with soccer, softball, tennis, and diving. He attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX, and graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Kinesiology. He was a member of the soccer team for all four years and acted as team captain during his senior season. HOW HAS THE NSCA ASSISTANTSHIP PROGRAM HELPED YOU IN YOUR CAREER? The NSCA Assistantship Program has been a big part of my continued growth as a strength and conditioning coach. I was at a disadvantage in the field, having not worked as a graduate assistant in strength and conditioning as I pursued my Master’s degree. The NSCA Assistantship Program provided the opportunity for me to gain a wealth of experience and learn from a veteran coach, Michael Doscher. At Valdosta State University (VSU), I was treated as if I was a graduate assistant,

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST “TAKEAWAY” WORKING UNDER YOUR RSCC MENTOR? My biggest “takeaway” from Coach Doscher is to always be open to new or different ideas. At VSU, developing and implementing programs, especially for football, was a team effort and we all contributed. I appreciate and respect Doscher for listening to everyone’s ideas and allowing us to speak our minds. Not only did this allow us to write effective programs, but it brought us closer together as a staff. I see that as a crucial element in running an effective strength and conditioning department, and it’s something I will always remember and strive to emulate.

WHAT RESOURCES DO YOU USE MOST WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING CONTINUING EDUCATION? For continuing education, I mostly read strength and conditioning publications and research (books, journals, websites, etc.), attend conferences and clinics, and observe and discuss things with other strength coaches. I think that reading, combined with discussion and observation, is a great way to learn. It is always interesting to see how other coaches are doing things and how you might adjust your programs to incorporate new ideas. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND OTHER YOUNG COACHES TO PURSUE AN ASSISTANTSHIP AND WHY? I would definitely recommend young coaches to pursue an assistantship because it is a great way to gain experience in this field. It is often very tough financially when just beginning your career as a strength coach. This assistantship can help alleviate some of that strain and allow you to focus on learning and becoming a better coach. Having been awarded one of the few NSCA Assistantships is a great source of pride for me personally, and it is also a great resume booster.

WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST THUS FAR IN YOUR CAREER AND WHY? I think that Coach Dale Jones of Texas A&M has influenced me the most in my young career as a strength coach. I interned with him when he was a coach at the University of Houston. I did not have a strength and conditioning coach as an athlete in college, so Jones introduced me to strength and conditioning. I had the opportunity to take graduate classes that he taught while assisting him in the weight room. This combination allowed me to get theoretical and applied experience by learning strength and conditioning concepts in the classroom and then helping implement those same concepts in the workouts.
