As strength and conditioning programs support both athletes and the general high school population, the decisions made around both the structure and staffing of these efforts have significant impact on the following areas:
• Athletic performance
• The occurrence of sports-related injuries
• The level of health, well-being and confidence of the student population
• The degree of liability and exposure a high school faces in its implementation of health and sports-related activities
• The execution of gender-appropriate strength and conditioning programs
