In the words of the great coach Vince Lombardi, our organization must continually “strive for perfection with the hope of achieving excellence.” It would be very easy for us as an organization to suggest that we are the world’s authority or we are the best organization in the world. However, I believe that if we fall victim to this thought process we will slowly begin to lose ground as an organization. Central to our ability to continue to move forward as an organization is the ability to leverage the diverse skill sets possessed by our membership. Simply put, our diversity is our strength and each member plays an important role as a strength and conditioning ambassador. After much reflection about the NSCA and where we should go over the next five years, I believe that the central goals we must strive for should include: 1) staying true to our mission statement, 2) embracing the diversity of our organization, 3) expanding our certification process, 4) expanding our international collaborations, whilst maintaining our domestic development, and 5) providing further opportunities for student development.
