Sean Hayes, WWE's head strength and conditioning coach and NXT director of performance shares what it takes to become a Superstar in World Wrestling Entertainment. Getting his first major coaching role at Penn State (under Craig Fitzgerald, who currently is the head S&C coach for the New York Football Giants), he learned he had a passion for coaching the basics with blue collar for ethic. After 2 successful seasons at Penn, he followed Coach Fitzgerald to the Houston Texans, an NFL franchise which upon their entrance was re-energized both on and off the grid iron. This is where, as they say, it gets interesting... During his time in Houston, he made the acquaintance of one Brian Cushing, a premier linebacker in the NFL. Cushing was trained pre-combine and off-season by Joe DeFrance, who, had trained (still trains) Paul Levesque...better known by his stage name, Triple H. This connection launched him on the trajectory to what quite honestly is a/THE unicorn job in the industry, the head strength coach for the WWE. Constantly evolving, despite his linebacker mentality, Coach Hayes is a proponent of anything which gives positive feedback to the athletes in his charge. This includes, but is not limited to using both the coaching eye as well as technology advancements for not only target speeds, but recovery monitoring. At the end of the day, these men and women are paid professionals leading to a long used saying in the NFL...
...the best ability is availability.
