RACHEL NEWMAN - STRONG ACT BREAKDOWN #147

There's a bill in the US Congress right now with our job title in it — and most coaches have no idea it exists.After two years of asking, I finally got Rachel Newman in front of a camera. Former strength & conditioning coach at Yale and Louisville, now at TeamBuildr, and one of the loudest voices behind the STRONG Act (H.R. 9527) — the bill that would give strength & conditioning coaches their own federal job classification.We get into what the bill actually does, what it doesn't (no, nobody's forcing a certification on you), why it matters even if you coach outside the US, and exactly what to do about it in under five minutes.The key links:The bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/9527 — link this one if you only link one, it auto-updates as co-sponsors are addedFull bill text: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-119hr9527ih/htm/BILLS-119hr9527ih.htmFind your rep: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representativeCapitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121Rachel's scripts: https://blog.teambuildr.com/the-strong-act-a-five-minute-phone-call-that-mattersTeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.
