To officially become a bobsledder you have to attend a training camp at Lake Placid and make the cut. From there you ascend the ranks.
As an aspiring strength coach (still a college student), and having interned with international caliber strength coaches, I can tell you weight training (specifically legs) plays a vital role.
Training should center around Snatch, power cleans, FULL squats, and lots of hamstring work (specifically glute-ham raise and reverse hyper). Here would be a sample workout:
A) Snatch or power clean 4-5 sets of 3 reps
B1) Full front squat with clean grip 5 sets of 3-5 reps
B2) Glute Ham Raise 5 sets of 3-4 reps
C) Sled pull or prowler push or truck push in parking lot 4-5 sets of 30-40 yrds
D) Weighted Back extension 2-3 sets of 8 reps (pausing 2 seconds at top)
* so do all of A) then move on to B1) & B2). Those two are alternate (set of b1 then set of b2, set of b1 then set of b2, etc.) Then do all of C) before moving on to D)
