VISION STATEMENT OUTLINING
THE CRITICAL AND/OR
SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES FACING
THE NSCA, SPECIFIC GOALS FOR
THE NSCA, AND AN INDICATION
OF HOW SUCH GOALS MAY BE
ACHIEVED
When envisioning the future of the NSCA
as a world leader in the strength and
conditioning field, we must ensure that the
integrity of the association is maintained
and that there is a strategic plan in place
that moves this NSCA into the future. This
is accomplished by strong leadership that
starts with the Board of Directors (BOD)
in addition to the Executive Director of the
NSCA. As a current member of the BOD, I
know we have strong leadership in place
that has developed a plan for the future.
I would like the opportunity to continue
serving in this capacity to make sure that
the NSCA BOD continues to follow and
implement this plan.
Another way the NSCA can continue to
grow is by promoting and disseminating
research-based knowledge, education,
and its practical application to improve
athletic performance and fitness, and
offset potential injury. One of the areas
that this can be accomplished is through
the resources that the NSCA provides
to its members. The NSCA not only
needs to provide information specific to
its strength and conditioning coaches
and personal trainers, but also develop
information and resources for its members
that are clinicians, tactical facilitators,
athletic trainers, educators, researchers,
and students on its webpage so that it
is specific to each member. This would
expand the information available on
the webpage that provides value to
our membership. This, in part, might
also help attract a wider audience that
are not yet members and get them
