I just got this email from my friend Pat Rigsby. The NSCA might be America’s most out of touch organization.
Read this from Pat:
“On August 28th I’ll be speaking at the Midwest Performance
Enhancement Seminar that my buddy Mike Robertson is
hosting.
But I did get a bit of ‘bad news’ from Mike last week about the
event.
He’d applied for .6 CECs from the NSCA for the event’s
6 presentations.
He got .5 CECs.
The NSCA told him they wouldn’t provide continuing education
credits for a business related presentation.
Really?
It doesn’t matter if your members can feed their families or
pay their bills…
…or maybe their NSCA renewal fees?
Maybe I’m being naive, but I don’t think that becoming a
better business person and becoming a better trainer or
coach should be mutually exclusive.
In fact, we’ve worked hard – and continue to work hard –
to develop ways for IYCA members to improve in both
areas.
Because being a good coach matters a lot less if you
don’t have any clients.
We’re holding our Bootcamp Bootcamp Weekend beginning
today and even though it is primarily a business event
we’re making certain to help people become better coaches
too – we’re covering everything from assessments to training
with bands and kettlebells.
Like I said – to have a successful career you probably need to learn
both.
But since I don’t like ‘bad news’ I came up with a plan:
The day before the event I’m going to hold a fr.ee
Fitness Business A-Z Workshop for all the attendees
that register by Mike’s early bird deadline.
I figure that if someone is the type of trainer or coach that
invests in their education and comes to an event like this –
then they’re the type of person I want to help.
So if you haven’t registered for the Midwest Performance
Enhancement Seminar yet – here’s the link:

This is not an affiliate link – just a recommendation for an
awesome event with presentations by Mike, Brian Grasso,
Brett Jones, Bill Hartman, Lee Taft… and me.
And a bonus Fitness Business A-Z Workshop that has cost over
$500 itself anytime I’ve done anything similar to it.
So hopefully I’ll see you in Indy August 28th for the Seminar
and also on the 27th for my A-Z Workshop.
Dedicated to your success ”
