Trevor Schier
A master's in strength and conditioning, and a golfer since he was ten. He does not have to translate between the two.

Trevor's master's is in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Strength and Conditioning, which is about as close to a purpose-built degree for this work as the field offers. He earned it at Indiana University of Pennsylvania while working as a graduate assistant on the strength staff, with men's golf, women's tennis, women's soccer, and football. He also carries the CSCS through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the most widely held credential in the field, which requires a degree and a two-part exam covering scientific foundations and applied practice.
He arrived there through football. Trevor played collegiately at Linfield University in Oregon and earned his bachelor's in Exercise Science, interning with the strength programs at the University of Washington and Oregon State along the way. After IUP he spent time as Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at the University of Wisconsin–Platteville, working with women's soccer, men's and women's basketball, and track and field.
He has been playing golf since he was ten at courses all across the country. He knows what eighteen holes actually costs a body, and what it feels like to lose a swing on the back nine.
Trevor grew up near Mount Rainier in Eatonville, Washington, and came up playing soccer, baseball, football, track, wrestling, and rugby.

WHAT I WORK ONHolding up through a season
I play enough to know what a full summer of golf does to a body. Training should make the back nine feel like the front, and it should not leave you sore for the round you have booked on Saturday.
Power from the ground
I came up through football and track, where everything starts with force into the floor. The golf swing is no different, it just hides it better.
Learning to lift properly
A lot of golfers have never trained seriously and are not sure they belong in a weight room. Teaching the lifts well, from the start, is most of the job in the first few months.
