BFS's Ultimate social networking site for coaches

BFS Online Learning Center BFS’s ultimate social networking site for coaches BFS has a vast amount of information for coaches at all levels. In addition to presenting hands-on clinics and certifications, we supplement the learning process with books, study guides, posters, videos, PowerPoint presentations – and, of course, BFS magazine. Wouldn’t it be great if you had a one-stop resource for all this material? Good news – you do: the BFS Online Learning Center! To ensure that schools and coaches continue to get the very best results from BFS, four years ago we decided to augment our services and launched this great computer-aided resource.

The Online Learning Center is a membership-only website that offers a multimedia approach to continuing education. For example, if you’re a coach or physical education instructor who wants to learn how to spot the squat correctly, you’ll find video clips of BFS clinicians performing the lift while being spotted by BFS clinicians. By linking a computer to a video projector, you can share this material with your students. More videos are added on a regular basis. What is considered a good educational program for strength and conditioning coaches? Sports-liability consultant Dr.

Marc Rabinoff offers this perspective: “The bottom line is that professional organizations that provide educational instruction in the fields of physical and athletic fitness must set clear, high standards for their members and also take measures to enforce these standards.” Taking these parameters a step further, Rabinoff says these professional organizations must also provide continuing education programs to ensure that coaches and trainers are staying current on the trends in the industry, especially those areas of strength and conditioning that are not covered in physical education curricula.

For example, it’s possible to get a graduate degree in physical education without knowing how to demonstrate or teach a squat or a plyometric box jump. Nevertheless, these exercises are key components in many athletic and physical fitness programs. This is the type of material presented, and continually updated based upon current research, in the BFS Online Learning Center. For a preview of what’s in store for you, go to the Certification tab on our certification, where you will find a link to the BFS Online Learning Center. Welcome to the future! MARCH/APRIL 2014 Coaches who enroll in the BFS certification program log in on the BFS OLC home page to access the BFS interactive study guide.

High-quality videos and images with detailed commentary provide an effective and enjoyable learning experience.

The Online Learning Center contains many useful tools for coaches that cover all aspects of the BFS program, including video presentations and downloadable publications to use in classrooms and weightrooms.
