Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects a strength and conditioning coach has on the individual athletic performances of male soccer players competing at the intercollegiate level. The researcher developed a physical examination test to measure the individual athletic performances of twenty NCAA Division III male soccer players. The study used a single group pre-experimental, pretest-posttest design to measure data collected from the administered test. Improvements in test scores did occur across the board once a strength and conditioning coach was implemented. Research in this area should continue as there is little being done to promote the need for such a resource, especially at the intercollegiate level.
