Personal Trainer and College

nick8800ny · 03-24-2003, 02:50 PM

Heya im a 16 yr old and I have been thinking about college seriously now. I want to learn about how people push their bodies to the limit in sports like body building and powerlifting. The only occupation I can think of that deals with things like that is personal trainers or sports nutrition. I was wondering what majors out there cover things like that. Thanks any help will do.

Forget the PT, no money and not a challenge. Get a 4yr degree in Exercise Science and then after your complete a 4yr degree get your NSCA-CSCS cert. to become a performance speacialist (strength and conditioning coach). After you get your CSCS cert then complete a Masters degree in college 6-8yrs. Once that is complete you can then become a College Strength or conditioning coach.

I plan on studying AES for my major and then my related (minor) field would be Neurology.
