If someone was a strength and conditioning coach/specialist would it be expected of them to be big.? Is it important if they are or not.?
No. Knowledge and experience working with athletes would be the most important thing.If someone was a strength and conditioning coach/specialist would it be expected of them to be big.? Is it important if they are or not.?
Okay awesome, I got told that if I were to become one that I wouldn't get any jobs because I am not massive and I thought that knowledge would be more importantNo. Knowledge and experience working with athletes would be the most important thing.
No, not at all.If someone was a strength and conditioning coach/specialist would it be expected of them to be big.? Is it important if they are or not.?
No not yet, I am just trying to work out my career paths but I will be going to uni an studying sport and exercise science which gives me the qualifications.No, not at all. From your avatar picture, you seem to be in excellent physical condition though, so I don't think you would find it hard getting clients at all. Do you have any certifications?
How far exactly are you wanting to take your education? Are you just wanting to get a couple of certifications or are you wanting to get a degree?No not yet, I am just trying to work out my career paths but I will be going to uni an studying sport and exercise science which gives me the qualifications.

Great. I studied a lot of exercise physiology after getting my BSN (although I never finished the degree).I am wanting to get a degree.
Thanks for your help, may I ask what ACE or NASM is.?Great. I studied a lot of exercise physiology after getting my BSN (although I never finished the degree). Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great as a trainer. From the looks you're in great condition. If I may, I would recommend something like ACE or NASM to get you started in getting certified. Anyway, best of luck to you. It's a great and rewarding career. I did personal training on the side in my first couple years of working as an RN.
ACE is the American Council on Exercise. NASM is the National Academy of Sports Medicine. They are fitness organizations that get trainers started. One of my co-workers just got certified through ACE a couple of years ago, I'm pretty sure they still have a home study program, where you can get certified as a trainer at home. They pretty much will get you started in learning the ropes when it comes to personal training. I know a lot of people that got certified before they got their degree and worked as a trainer while studying for their degree.Thanks for your help, may I ask what ACE or NASM is.?
Oh I see, well I am from Australia so things are done differently over hear but once I complete my bachelor of sport and exercise science I will do a master in strength and conditioning, see if I can get a doctorate somehow and then join Australian Sports Nutrition and hope that I can get into NRL from there.ACE is the American Council on Exercise.

The most challenging one is the National Academy of Sports Medicine, who also offer a CSCS (Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist) but you have to have a bachelors degree to even go the CSCS route.
Oh, I am sorry I was unaware of where you were from.Oh I see, well I am from Australia so things are done differently over hear but once I complete my bachelor of sport and exercise science I will do a master in strength and conditioning, see if I can get a doctorate somehow and then join Australian Sports Nutrition and hope that I can get into NRL from there.
Yeah it's all good, thank you so much for your helpOh, I am sorry I was unaware of where you were from. Some great goals you have there. Best of luck with your degree and getting into the NRL!
