Todd Cofer - The Importance of Strength and Conditioning for HS Athletes

My final semester of College I was fortunate enough to be an intern Strength and Conditioning Coach at the United States Air Force Academy. Upon completion, as an intern, I pursued my own business. I opened up a personal training studio that I ran for five years. Furthermore, I was interested in corporate management for a large fitness company (24-hour fitness). I became an assistant fitness manager and enjoyed learning more about the corporate world. Here I am today as Strength and Conditioning Coach at Vista Ridge High School. I enjoy the position that I am currently in and look forward to many more years.
