Azharuddin Qureshi

As a Strength and Conditioning Coach, I am responsible for establishing and maintaining a strength and conditioning program for all sports, with the three major goals of improving athletic performance, reducing athletic injuries, and teaching lifelong fitness and movement skills. The Strength and Conditioning Coach devises training plans according to sound scientific principles, supervises training sessions, evaluates athletes, maintains athlete records, and teaches strength and conditioning classes as needed. The Strength and Conditioning Coach meets regularly with sports coaches to determine what the athletes need to work on. If working with an injured athlete engaged in rehabilitation, the Strength and Conditioning Coach will consult with the sports medicine or athletic training staff. The Strength and Conditioning Coach is responsible for maintaining the strength and conditioning facility, and for establishing policies, plans, and procedures for the safe and professional operation of the facility. Azharuddin Qureshi is currently the Strength and Conditioning Coach of the UAE NATIONAL CRICKET TEAM. He was also the Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Colombo strikers in the Lanka Premier League. Also, he was the S/C coach of the DY PATIL Sports Academy in Mumbai and also for their various sports teams across various leagues. With a solid foundation in fitness and athlete development, my role as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at the UAE National Cricket Team leverages my expertise to elevate athletic performance. The journey with the New York Strikers has honed my skills in implementing innovative conditioning programs that translate into tangible on-field success. Our team's commitment to excellence is mirrored in the rigorous training regimens and personalized coaching strategies I develop. These initiatives are designed not only to enhance physical capabilities but also to foster resilience and peak performance, thus contributing to the overarching success of the teams I support.
