Strength & conditioning is the buying group for weight-room equipment, force plates and velocity-based-training systems, athlete-monitoring and GPS platforms, nutrition suppliers. Typical titles in this group: Director of Strength & Conditioning; Assistant Strength Coach; Head Olympic Sports Strength Coach. Whistle customers filter these positions by conference, school, state and sport, see each person's name, title and contact details where the directory publishes them, and get an alert when one of the positions changes hands.
Positions are counted from each person's published job title, classified into Whistle's role vocabulary (shared/staff-roles.ts); this group is the "strength_conditioning" role.
Change counts compare successive reads of each school's official directory; a school's first extraction and any day on which 25% or more of a roster appears or disappears at once (a re-read, not turnover) are excluded. This page is published when at least 3 covered Northern Sun Intercollegiate schools have the function and they list at least 10 positions between them; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes.
