Do you wake up each day excited to go to work?

 

I’m sure you are passionate about helping your clients or athletes achieve their goals but are you doing EXACTLY what you want to be doing?

 

Well, if your answer isn’t an enthusiastic YES, then I have something special for you.

 

IYCA Expert Dave Gleason did a presentation where he shares the exact plan he used to dump an unfulfilling career as an In Home Trainer to open his dream facility and build an ultra-successful business serving the hottest market in the industry: Youth Fitness & Sports Performance.

Remember why you got into this industry and start loving your career again. Here is a blueprint to how Dave made that happen for him and how you can do it too.

The IYCA Inks Book Deal with Celebrity Press

 

IYCA Youth Fitness Specialists to be Featured

 

Louisville, KY- This past July, hundreds of Youth Fitness Specialists, certified by the International Youth Conditioning Association, gathered for two days in the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY, to learn about and share their passion for youth fitness training.

 

What they also got was the opportunity of a lifetime, to be featured in a book, The Definitive Guide to Youth Athletic Strength, Conditioning and Performance.

 

The IYCA teamed up with publishing company Celebrity Press, known for producing best-selling authors in many industries, and offered its members the opportunity to apply for a select number of openings. Each qualified applicant would submit a chapter on his or her field of expertise on the subject of youth fitness training.

 

Pat Rigsby, who serves as CEO of the IYCA, is excited for the expected release of the book in 2012. "This book represents the entire IYCA organization at large, and many qualified youth coaches and fitness professionals have the chance to get recognition for the great work that they do."

The International Youth Conditioning Association is the premier international authority with respect to athletic development and youth participant-based conditioning. The IYCA is a certification-based outfit offering the finest educational certificate programs in the realm of youth athletic development and fitness. The IYCA mission is to fulfill its duty as the leaders of the youth fitness and sport training industry and help reform the quality and care we are providing for our youth.

 

 

Youth Training: My Top 5 (Part 4)

Posted on: June 16th, 2011 by IYCA No Comments

Youth Training Tips

‘Part 4′ is one of those reasons that most people feel uncomfortable talking about…

 

… And I’ve never honestly figured out why.

 

The best Coaches in the world don’t always earn a good living.

 

Because they aren’t quality business owners.

 

Success in our industry is absolutely dependant on you becoming the very best Coach you can be (and at the 2011 Summit, we’ve covered you on that with Speakers such as Eric Cressey, Mike Robertson, Wil Fleming, Sue Falsone and Latif Thomas).

 

But without the requisite business savvy to establish, operate and grow a Youth training, Fitness and Sport Training program or facility, you will forever be chasing your tail when it comes to earning a good living (and living a quality life).

 

Which is why we’ve covered you again for Youth Training business….

Youth Training: My Top 5 (Part 3)

Posted on: June 14th, 2011 by IYCA No Comments

Youth Training Tip # 3

Another ‘no-brainer’ reason you need to hear about.

 

For fun, I call this our “shake the hands and kiss the babies” policy!

 

In truth, it’s one of the factors that separates the IYCA Summit from every other conference out there.

 

The Personal Touch.

 

Our Speakers are contracted, not just to present, but to be available all weekend long in order to answer YOUR questions.

 

Maybe you’ve always wanted to ask Eric Cressey something about Mobility.

 

Perhaps Mike Robertson has the key you’ve been looking for with respect to Youth Training (more…)

Back to School with the IYCA

Posted on: September 19th, 2010 by IYCA No Comments

IYCA Education Time…

IYCA

 

September marks the beginning of yet another long school year for kids all over the world.

 

I remember distinctly the feelings I had as the lazy summer days came to a close and the word ‘responsibility’ started
circulating through my daily thoughts.

 

Responsibility to wake up earlier than I had been used to.

 

Get to class on time.

 

Diligently tend to my homework nightly.

IYCA: Consider This

Posted on: December 6th, 2009 by IYCA 17 Comments

 

 

IYCA Code…

by Dr. Kwame M. Brown

 

The below is said with love, and I mean that. 

 

"Research Shows"… "It is a well known fact that"… "There is evidence to support"…

 

These are all statements I have heard time and time again to support statements that people believe.  I feel it is time for me to say something as a classically trained and field experience scientist / practitioner. 

 

"Research Shows":  Does it?  Which research?  Does research show the opposite of what you are saying, or show it less than the research than you are quoting?  If so, and you have chosen not to include that information, you are being disingenuous.  Period. 

 

"It is a well known fact that…":  Is it?  Very few things are well known facts, except that kids grow and learn. 

 

"There is evidence to support":  Much like #1, which evidence? 

 

These are all sneaky statements that serve to make us sound all "experty".

IYCA: Thank You and A Gift From Me

Posted on: November 26th, 2009 by IYCA 3 Comments

IYCA Provides…

by Wil Fleming – www.beforcefit.com

 

It is the week of Thanksgiving and I wanted to share with you why I am thankful for the IYCA.

 

Certainly I am thankful for the knowledge I gain from attending live events and the continuing education certification courses but that only touches the surface.  The IYCA gives away, literally gives away, so much valuable information. All of it for free.   The IYCA treats its members like family.  I am thankful for being a part of an organization that wants me to be able to do what I love better than any other professional around.

 

As members of the IYCA we are all passionate about the training of our youth.  Some are passionate about reducing the prevalence of obesity in our youth, others want to help athletes succeed to their highest levels.  Wherever you fall on this spectrum there is one thing that will determine your success.

 

Your ability to reach as many young people as possible.

Youth Fitness Speed Certification – No Charge?

Youth Fitness Speciality

Couple of urgent things for you.

 

And yes, one of them is me explaining how you can get my brand-new Speed & Agility
Certification for absolutely no charge whatsoever.

 

Read on…

 

Okay, my first order of business is simple.

 

All the knowledge and know-how in the world doesn’t mean that you will have a profitable
career in this industry.

 

Attrition rates are high.

 

The poor economy is causing Trainers and Coaches worldwide to pack it in and start looking
somewhere else for income and a livelihood.

 

But you know something, I never experienced what you’re going through.

 

And neither did Lee Taft.
