United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy Unveils Strength and Conditioning Certification for Endurance Athletes

June 25, 2025

Highlands Ranch, CO (June 25, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy (UESCA) proudly announces the launch of its novel certification: ‘Strength and Conditioning for Endurance Athletes.’ This pioneering certification stands as the first and only certification program with a singular focus on endurance athletes, marking a significant milestone in the realm of sports coaching education.

Developed by seasoned strength/endurance coach and physiology professor, Dominique (Dee) Stasulli MS, this certification is designed to equip endurance coaches with an in-depth understanding of the physiology, with a focus on the application to strength and conditioning. This certification takes a deep dive into all areas of strength and conditioning to ensure that students understand the mechanisms behind strength training practices and how to successfully integrate them into endurance athletes’ programs.

Addressing a long-standing gap in the endurance coaching certification landscape, in addition to the robust focus on physiology, the ‘Strength and Conditioning for Endurance Athletes’ certification encompasses a wide array of key modules including: Principles of Strength Training, Optimizing Adaptation with Recovery, Concurrent Training, Principles of Program Design, Movement Preparation and Coaching Skills, Exercise Technique and Correction, and Resistance Training Equipment. Each module is designed to ensure coaches are well-versed in both the theory and practical application of these principles.

Rick Prince, the founder of UESCA, emphasizes the unique position of this certification in the market, “For many endurance coaches, strength training is the area least understood and studied. We created this certification so that endurance coaches would be well educated on strength and conditioning to the extent that they could program strength, as well as cardiovascular elements into training programs.” He further notes that, unlike existing certifications that cater to the general population or speed and quickness-focused athletes, this certification fills a critical void by offering strength and conditioning insights specifically tailored for endurance sport coaches. This commitment to specialized education underscores UESCA’s dedication to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of endurance sports coaching.

United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy is at the forefront of revolutionizing endurance sports coaching education. With the launch of the ‘Strength and Conditioning for Endurance Athletes’ certification, UESCA reaffirms its commitment to providing cutting-edge, scientifically-backed education that empowers coaches and athletes to achieve their highest potential.
