Tobias Jacobi fills a lot of roles at Strong Rock Christian School in Locust Grove, Georgia. He takes each of them seriously, including the title of educator, which he embraces in a way that brings both job security and a fresh perspective on his role as a strength coach. As the chair of the the Physical Education Department, he understands the terminology and fluently speaks the language of an educator, thereby becoming a better relationship builder, student of his craft, leader and role model.

To augment his emphasis on using accurate terminology, Jacobi brings a wealth of experience to his role as Strength and Conditioning Coach at Strong Rock Christian School. He spent 15 years coaching at esteemed Division I colleges such as East Carolina, Charleston Southern, Kent State, Western Carolina, Elon, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Cumberland University.

Under his expert guidance at Strong Rock, the school has seen impressive athletic achievements, with 18 different teams earning state playoff or tournament appearances and two teams winning Area/Region Championships.

In recognition of the school’s commitment to excellence in strength and conditioning, Strong Rock Christian School was awarded the prestigious NSCA Strength of America Award in 2017. This honor reflects not only the hard work of the student-athletes but also the dedication and expertise of Jacobi in fostering a culture of physical fitness and athletic success.

Jacobi was also named the 2018 National High School Strength Coaches Association’s (NHSSCA) National High School Strength Coach of the Year.

Jacobi’s impact on the school’s athletic program is further highlighted by the outstanding individual accomplishments of his student-athletes. In the three years prior to the NSCA Strength of America Award, five athletes from Strong Rock earned the esteemed NSCA Strength and Conditioning All-American honors, showcasing their exceptional skills and the results of their rigorous training under Jacobi’s tutelage.
