Recruit Top Coaches

Most coaches who join CTS come through referrals from our current coaches who recognize their potential. We also keep an eye out for coaches who have developed a good reputation in the community.

In-Depth Interview & Experience Review

We review each coach to assess their sports science knowledge, certifications, professional coaching experience, training programming ability, sport mastery, and coach-athlete relationship-building skills. Many coaches who apply do not make it past this stage.

Image

CTS Coaching College & Onboarding

New coaches who join the CTS team go through extensive training on the CTS Coaching Philosophy with high-level CTS Coaches and the CTS Director of Coaching. During this time, their knowledge is further put to the test and they are taken through real-world coaching scenarios. We ensure every coach meets CTS' coaching standards before they ever work with a CTS Athlete.

CTS Coaches are expected to maintain a high athlete success rate while working with CTS Athletes. We continually mentor coaches and monitor feedback from athletes, in addition to other metrics, to ensure coaches are delivering an amazing athlete experience. CTS Coaches are also expected to participate in ongoing continuing education opportunities throughout the year to stay up-to-date on the latest research and best practices to improve their coaching knowledge base.
