Salary and Role Alignment
Amber. USD $60,000 to $75,000 is reasonable at the upper end, but the lower end appears modest given that this practitioner leads the entire physical performance programme for a professional first team and carries substantial responsibility for GPS interpretation, weekly periodisation, individualised programming and interdisciplinary performance decisions. A bachelor's degree is required, with a master's preferred rather than essential, which is appropriately aligned with Level 6.
