- Cardiovascular Conditioning: Programming for aerobic efficiency, anaerobic power, and the specific demands of trail and terrain running.
- OCR-Specific Strength Training: Developing functional power, grip endurance, and core stability required to tackle heavy carries and technical obstacles.
- Program Design: How to integrate strength, cardio, and skill work into periodized training cycles for athletes of all levels.
- Coaching Theory: Effective communication and cueing strategies for high-intensity environments.
After completing the in-person training, candidates receive access to the online course platform to complete the certification process. Submissions are reviewed by USAOCR staff for accuracy and completion. Upon approval, you will be awarded the official USAOCR Level 1 Coach Certification.

FAQs
1. Will I need to complete both the in-person and online programs to be certified?
A. An individual can register for either the in-person or online program. Both types of courses will certify an individual for Level 1 Coaching.
2. What is the difference between the in-person and online certification courses?
A. The online certification works in conjunction with the in-person course. The in-person led course provides hands-on experience and will go over most of the case studies and lecture material together in a group setting.
