D1 Training Lakeland is actively seeking a Combatives Coach (SSC) to deliver the BEST workout experience in the industry to our diverse clientele.

If you've grappled at a high level, you understand the unique blend of athleticism and mental toughness needed to excel.

Our coaches demonstrate a profound passion for training athletes of all ages, from 7 years old to the seasoned adult athlete.

You'll be instrumental in upholding D1's high coaching standards, adhering to our latest brand guidelines and quality control measures.

D1 Coaches play a pivotal role in the evaluation process, assisting with assessments and goal setting to ensure athletes are properly programmed, motivated, and committed to reaching their full potential. The CC will report directly to the Head Speed and Strength Coach (HSSC).
