I wanted to see if I could get some people's advice from here, and any thoughts would help. Currently I'm working as a personal trainer at a YMCA. I am looking to break into the Strength and Conditioning Field, the problems I am having are, I don't have a Master's Degree, only a Bachelors in Sports Management, and I've taken my CSCS twice and missed both times and planning on taking it again in January. I was giving some thought to looking into schools with Masters programs in Kiniesiology but I'm not really sure what a Masters in that entails. I also know there are a lot of companies out there that require the CSCS as far as Parisi, Velocity, and Athletes Performance.
Also, I've been looking for some places to start shooting some vids for Youtube, just to put my name out there as a trainer, but I'm having a hard time finding locations to do so. Any thoughts or places to begin looking specifically entry level would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
