NSCA was introduced to me in college and was required for my major. Joining the organization ended up being the best thing I could have ever done because the jobs that I carry currently require that you be a member of NSCA due to its credibility. I have learned so much through the journals and online articles. —Paulette Scott, NSCA-CPT

Initially I was required to join a professional organization for my major. I had never heard of the NSCA until a friend told me about the organization. I researched it and decided that I would join. After reading the journals I became so interested in Strength and Conditioning I decided to make it my career. THANK YOU NSCA! —Scott Fisher, CSCS, NSCA-CPT
