The CHS Athletic Department is thrilled to announce the hiring of Mark Erickson (no relation!) as our new Strength and Conditioning Coach. Beginning immediately, Erickson will take the lead in all things fitness, strength and conditioning for the entire Bulldog Athletic program.
Coach Mark Erickson has been a strength and conditioning trainer for the last two decades and has trained a diverse group of young athletes from all different sports and skill levels, from middle school and high school, to D1, D2, and D3 college athletes.
Mark has had great success as a strength coach since moving to Canton in 2022, with trainees from youth football, girls basketball, softball, and volleyball, as well as current Canton High School athletes from football, baseball, hockey, and golf, participating in strength and conditioning training at his studio. A former student athlete from Brockton, MA, an award-winning natural bodybuilder, and award-winning jazz trumpet player (how about that?!), Coach Erickson knows the dedication and hard work it takes to consistently meet and exceed the goals he sets for himself. He takes pride in passing that experience and wisdom down to all of his athletes.
Coach Erickson is a true believer in positive motivation and delivering efficient and progressive strength and conditioning programs with a high success rate for all sports. He also believes in how hard work in the gym can not only improve one’s physical abilities, but also one’s cognitive abilities, confidence in themselves, and leadership skills.
Coach Mark Erickson had this to say upon his appointment-
"I am really excited and eager to take over the role of Strength and Conditioning Coach at Canton High School to continue the amazing work and highest standards that Coach Hughes has successfully implemented with all of our CHS athletes so far. As a Canton resident, Dad of 13 and 10 year old boys, and a youth football and baseball coach, I am doubly invested in the success of all of our Canton athletes. It gives me great pride to have this opportunity and I am looking forward to working hard to get the absolute best out of our athletes day in and day out!"
CHS Athletics welcomes Coach Mark Erickson to our Bulldog family!
