Additional Notes for Your Application
- A few honest tips as you apply:
- The coaching experience gap is real — D1 asks for 1+ year in strength & conditioning or personal training. If you have any informal coaching experience (youth sports, training friends/family, community fitness), add it. Even unpaid or volunteer work counts.
- Consider getting a NASM, ACE, or CSCS cert — D1 lists CSCS as preferred. An entry-level cert like NASM-CPT would significantly strengthen your application.
- Lead with energy — D1's culture is high-enthusiasm and athlete-focused. Your cover letter should match that tone.
