All-Star Game Strength & Conditioning Coaches
Just as every Major Leaguer aspires to be selected to play in Baseball’s annual “Mid-Summer Classic,” members of the Professional Baseball Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society, (PBSCCS) also consider selection as an All-Star Game Strength and Conditioning Coach to be a significant achievement and a career highlight. Being an All-Star Game Strength and Conditioning Coach means your peers have recognized you as one of the best. One strength and conditioning coach from each league is selected annually by his peers to represent the PBSCCS at the All-Star Game. Coaches are selected on the basis of Major League service time, experience, and accomplishments, and must be a member of the PBSCCS and be certified and registered by NSCA (CSCS and RSCC).
