As the obesity epidemic continues to grow in America, the emphasis that physical education teachers place on skill development in fitness is also growing, as demonstrated in the SHAPE America National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes. This program will equip students to become strength and conditioning coaches, college coaches, youth and K-12 coaches, physical education department chairs, etc.
