Evaluation is a necessary component of nearly every job and strength and conditioning coaches are no exception. However, the utility of that evaluation seems likely to vary tremendously across the sporting landscape. The literature is lacking information on how strength and conditioning coaches are evaluated. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to solicit responses from head strength and conditioning coaches regarding their experiences with evaluation of their work. Five coaches representing competitive levels from high school to professional American football responded to a series of 11 questions about evaluations and assessments. Their answers were more diverse than similar and combined to present a picture of evaluation that is entirely inconsistent and muddled.

In this paper, we describe the development and content of a mental skills training (MST) program and how a strength and conditioning coach/certified mental coach delivered this program within a United States Tennis Association (USTA) Player Development (PD) program. The purpose of the MST program was to create resilient, confident youth tennis competitors. Specific mental strategies (i.e., journaling, routines, breathing, imagery, self-talk) were identified to best meet the objectives of the MST program and were delivered using a three-pronged approach: (a) classroom lessons, (b) strength and conditioning sessions and on-court lessons, and (c) homework assignments. Specific ways that the USTA PD coaches reinforced the use of these strategies during tennis practice are described. Recommendations for coaches to integrate an MST program in high-performance youth sport environments are also provided.
