Coaches who are selected will be invited to Colorado Springs to learn from USA Boxing’s National Coaches and High-Performance staff on topics such as international competition tactics, strength and conditioning, nutrition, injury prevention, maintenance and more. The Gold level certification courses will all take place during a High Performance Training Camps, allowing coaches to see all course content implemented first hand with High Performance Team members.
