Cressey often lauds the UConn Kinesiology program, Bill Hartman can cite a.r.t certification and p.t. degree, Alwyn Cosgrove cites nasm, acsm and chek, among others, on his website. And you, Brett, obviously are well-versed in the FMS, RKC and Clarion's rehab science program....<BR/><BR/>In an ideal world, what qualifications would you want in an individual training a friend or family member?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738033781218320920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34413602.post-69740951965645221712007-05-25T04:02:00.000-07:002007-05-25T04:02:00.000-07:00No, I didn't feel that it prepared me to train any...No, I didn't feel that it prepared me to train anyone, which is why I don't use it on individual clients. <BR/><BR/>I initially got the CPT to assist Randy Hauer in training a girl's softball team, but I was only responsible for checking technique and keeping an eye out for safety. I didn't design anything, and Randy taught the movements. <BR/><BR/>It gave me a general knowledge base, but I came to realize it didn't prepare me for "troubleshooting" problems with clients and movement patterns. So, beyond the softball team I didn't use it.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682463218107127445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34413602.post-84806588779157734582007-05-22T02:51:00.000-07:002007-05-22T02:51:00.000-07:00Christine,Did you feel that the exam "prepared" yo...Christine,<BR/>Did you feel that the exam "prepared" you for or meant you were "ready" to train people?<BR/><BR/>Believe me I do not mean this as a slam or in any negative way - I used to hold the NSCA-CPT and I still hold the CSCS - but I don't feel that either of those prepared me for meant I was actually ready for training people.Brett Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192435046685650988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34413602.post-78051923130446189782007-05-21T20:44:00.000-07:002007-05-21T20:44:00.000-07:00I sat for (and passed) the NSCA CPT exam... but I ...I sat for (and passed) the NSCA CPT exam... but I do not train *anyone*.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682463218107127445noreply@blogger.com
