Your Next Step to Becoming an International
Youth Fitness and Sport Training Authority
Increased Opportunity, Enhanced Knowledge and Improved Credibility
"I would suggest that one of the greatest decisions I have made in my life was to take the Youth Fitness Certification course that you offer" - Bob Acton |
From the Desk of Brian Grasso:
I remember receiving that email from Bob Acton a few years back.
It struck me as honest and incredibly to the pont.
I also remember feeling an overwhelming sense of pride after reading it.
I didn't even realize the full weight of Bob's message until very recently, though.
Only a few short weeks ago, I hosted a conference call for all current IYCA Members along with my colleague Pat Rigsby.
Maybe you were on that call with us.
Pat and I were explaining the process of the new IYCA Educational System to a large group of fitness and sport training professionals.
These folks had already completed what is now their Youth Fitness Specialist - Level 2 course and were learning about how our new progressive system of education affected them.
Then Bob piped up with a quick comment.
Now, I'm not going to pretend to remember everything he said.
First of all, I didn't take notes and certainly don't want to misquote anyone.
But aside from that, I admit to being stunned by his words.
They went something like this...
" ...I've won championships as an athlete and as a coach. I've worked on dozens of movies including 'John Q' with Denzel Washington. But I will tell you straight out, that the most accomplished I have ever felt is when I finished writing the IYCA certification. It is literally the greatest thing I have ever done..." |
I am literally swelling with pride as I type this out.
It really is impossible to explain what it's like to have someone say that about an organization you created.
I Sincerely Wanted to Affect the Lives of Kids and Teenagers... I Never Thought I Would Ever Affect the Lives of So Many Fitness Professionals Also
But that's what happened.
The IYCA has become a vehicle.
A medium for increased opportunity and career success.
It is the sole voice of education and pathway to job fulfillment in the fastest growing market in the entire fitness industry.
The IYCA - New, Ambitious and Already Considered an Industry Leader
"Just wanted to say Developmental Essentials is an awesome text. Don't know why I waited so long. I have my MS, PES, CSCS, and HFI. The IYCA would have been my first step had it been around" Brian Atkinson |
"Training our youth is not the same as training adults... No one in our industry understands and teaches both sides of this equation better than Brain Grasso and the IYCA" Jason Stella - National Education Director |
"The IYCA is changing the way we train our youth" Men's Health |
The "Youth Fitness Specialist - Level 2" certification is your next step.
The IYCA Educational System was not designed to be a "one-stop-shop" that equipped you with everything you needed in a weekend course.
We are true to our mission and passionate about making change.
This is the next logical progression in your march to making that change with us.
Youth Fitness Specialist - Level 2
This certification course consists of our 'Developmental Essentials - The Foundations of Youth Conditioning' textbook along with the exclusive CD's featuring each chapter author.
