Reasons To Become A Youth Fitness Specialist
At the International Youth Conditioning Association we are proud of the fact that we provide education for coaches and trainers just like you.
It is important to us to provide research-based information coupled with practical application.
Our Youth Fitness Specialist Certification does that, and there are many reasons that being a Youth Fitness Specialist can be a benefit to you and the athletes/kids you work with. Here are just a few:
Reason #1: A Youth Fitness Specialist is Confident
Working with young kids can be challenging, from programming to exercise selection and timing, there is a lot to know.
Training kids like “mini adults” is simply unacceptable. This is why it is important for the Youth Fitness Specialist to know all the details on working with kids during crucial developmental phases to provide them with the optimal training.
Confidence is reflected in the quality of the programs and presentations as a coach. The Youth Fitness Specialist knows how to coach each athlete as an individual, even in a group/team setting. They can provide customized experiences and build long lasting relationships with clients based on research and practical application.
The Youth Fitness Specialist can be confident in getting results.
Reason #2: A Youth Fitness Specialist is Marketable – Be the Go-To Coach
Look around your community, do you know any Youth Fitness Specialists? It’s likely that there are very few that specialize with kids. Specializing can differentiate you from other coaches and trainers in the area.
Of course, becoming the go-to trainer takes a lot more than a certification, but becoming a Youth Fitness Specialist will give you the tools and resources to prove just why you ARE the go-to trainer in your area.
Use the credential to expand your programming, coach athletes in the way they need to be coached and build a network of trusting clients.
Reason #3: A Youth Fitness Specialist Can Educate Others
Probably the most important thing you can be when working with kids is a “student”. Simply put, coaches should never stop learning.
One of the greatest benefits of becoming a Youth Fitness Specialist (or in educating yourself on any topic), is that you can educate others. Answering the “whys” of youth fitness and performance is an important component of any coach’s job.
Educate yourself so you can educate others.
