Well, I took it today.... bleh, FOUR hours long...... but not only did I pass, I KICKED MAJOR BOOTIE on it! That's right, little kiddies, it's official - you can call me coach!.....lol Below is a description of exactly what a CSCS is, and why it is sooooo important for me in studying for my Masters, as well as promoting my company: Scope of Practice Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCSs) are professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance. They conduct sport-specific testing sessions, design and implement safe and effective strength training and conditioning programs and provide guidance regarding nutrition and injury prevention. Recognizing that their area of expertise is separate and distinct, CSCSs consult with and refer athletes to other professionals when appropriate. History The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) program was created in 1985 to identify individuals who possess the knowledge and skills to design and implement safe and effective strength and conditioning programs for athletes in a team setting. The credentialing program encourages a higher level of competence among practitioners and raises the quality of strength training and conditioning programs provided by those who are CSCS certified. Today, professionals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds hold this prestigious credential. This diverse group includes strength coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, physicians, chiropractors, researchers and educators. The CSCS is the only strength training and conditioning certification to be nationally accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and has been nationally accredited since 1993. Prerequisites Registrants must submit an original, official transcript of their academic work, showing attainment of at least a bachelor?s degree (BS/BA) or chiropractic medicine degree granted by an accredited institution. -------------- Michael Humble, even in Victory.

JB, this is my last big one until after I get my Masters, which is when I will test for Registered Clinical Exercise Phsyiologist. On the minor side, though, I will be getting my Speed Performance Specialist cert in a few weeks. -------------- Michael Humble, even in Victory.
