With a projected job growth of 11% between 2018 and 2028, Logan-educated strength & conditioning coaches may find careers in high school, collegiate, semi-professional and professional athletics; training facilities and private gyms; military and first responders; physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics; education; research and more.
