Re: strength and conditioning jobs
thanks for that. Well i got invited over for a few interviews last summer but could not make it, however I was to recontact them. I know that I might need to apply for a job, then fly over for an interview as no one in their right mind would employ a stranger. By the look of it, an non-immigrant may be the best idea or a dual intent 01/p1. dont know if my skills are extraordinary but I do have 5yrs of university behind me. Maybe the best option would be an internship perhaps

Re: strength and conditioning jobs
would you not need to send them some information relating to your credentials????? I am from the UK after all, so I would probably need some experience in US sports before this was feasible???

Re: strength and conditioning jobs
After all Rugby came first and mamby pamby colonials couldn't take the pain that came with it so they decided to use armour to stop hurting themselves.
Rugby footbal was invented by William Webb Ellis who was a sudent at Rugby school and first picked up a football during a game and ran with it. There have since been a few variations of the game ... American football, Australian rules football and Gaelic football for instance, the later two of which are not played by pooftas who have to wear protective colthing

My stepson has his sports science 2 yr credential but is working in a factory in England saving "spending" money for his 4 years as a soccer player for a small university in the U.S. His scholarship pays the rest....it was only way he could get here.

You could point out that American football is really a puffy imitation of Rugby !

Re: strength and conditioning jobs
I imagined it be be very hard to get to work/live in the US. I have been getting good feedback though when it comes to jobs/interns etc. Its very very hard in a field like this to get anywhere

Re: strength and conditioning jobs
That means nothing. Getting a job is the easier part of employment based immigration. You can have 100 job offers but that doesn't mean you will be granted a visa or that the companies will even sponsor one.
