The Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) is on a bold journey towards Brisbane 2032 and beyond. Following the extraordinary success of Queensland athletes at the recent Olympic and Paralympic Games, we are now focused on delivering even more medal-winning moments through to Los Angeles 2028 and our home Games in 2032.
Our ambitious high-performance strategy for the 2032 Games is to create more medal-winning moments for Queensland athletes that inspire their state and nation. While our strategy guides our performance, our culture truly delivers it. Given our vision, our culture is vitally important to us.
We're seeking a Senior Strength & Conditioning Coach (Swimming) who will be responsible for the design and implementation of world-class strength and conditioning programs aimed at maximising the physical performance of nationally categorised QAS athletes within a QAS High Performance Swimming program (St Peters Western), while also leading and developing a team of strength and conditioning coaches at the QAS.
Some of your responsibilities will include:
• Provide world-leading evidence-based strength and conditioning services to a QAS High Performance Swimming program, coaches and QAS categorised athletes in line with each athlete's Individual Athlete Performance Plan (IAPP) which is aligned with their What It Takes to Win (WITTW) framework.
• Deliver specific and relevant performance testing and tracking/monitoring for QAS categorised athletes, providing timely feedback to the coaches, athletes and Performance Support team members.
• Contribute to the development of IAPPs and assist in regularly reviewing the associated specific development priorities and performance metrics to measure progress.
• Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary performance support team that creates a high performance environment to provide an integrated program based on the level and needs for QAS supported Swimming athletes. This includes spending an appropriate amount of time in the daily training environment (DTE) and attending weekly Performance Support team meetings.
