Gentlepersons of the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and whoever may be concerned:

This letter shall serve as my formal relinquishment of my Certified Strength and Conditioning
Specialist credential. I was in the first group to test for the CSCS in 1985, and was among the minority
of applicants to pass the exam and be granted the credential, which I was proud to hold for many years.
However, the NSCA has apparently taken a different direction from the one with which I so closely
identified 23 years ago. My professional emphasis has remained on the improvement of strength and
conditioning, while that of the NSCA has apparently changed. Its professional publications are quite
thoroughly reflective of a shift in emphasis to physical therapy and athletic training, while failing, in
my opinion, to address the actual processes by which athletes are made more strong and conditioned,
and further, in my opinion, failing to meet the minimum standards for a quality scientific publication.
Its internal administrative problems are legend. It has dealt with me in an unsatisfactory manner
regarding its professional insurance. It no longer serves my best professional interest to be associated
Comment too long. Clickhereto view the full text.
