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
The NSCA has established itself as
the premiere strength and condition
profession over the last 10 years by strong
leadership and vision. As the profession
continues to grow, other avenues should
be explored to remain the authority it
has accomplished. Relationships between
China and the NSCA have been established
but other markets, particularly in Europe
and Canada where there are numerous
fitness professionals, need to be explored.
Accreditations of academic programs or
solidification of educational experiences
should be reexamined to produce highly
respective and qualified professionals.
Online Master’s degree programs, including
internships with certified NSCA members,
can increase the awareness and recruit
more professionals into the field. Specialty
certifications, including the Certified
Special Populations Specialist™ (CSPS™)
and Tactical Strength and ConditioningFacilitator™ (TSAC-F™), could strengthen
ties with medical professionals that work
congruently with injured athletes as well as
tactical operators and athletes.
