For me personally, weh I sat for the CSCS exam in 1998, it was something all of us were doing in our Ex. Phy dept. I knew I wasn't going to be working with athletes, nor did I know the "revelance" of the cert back then. Flash-forward today>>>> having been a former athlete, I understand most of teh concepts and have applied towards my GP clients and some scholastic athletes. The NASM-PES pretty much re-assured me on stuff I already knew or familiar with.
I have been involved with NASM knee-deep since 2000 because at the time, my employer required it. The PES is very NASM "influenced" whereas the CSCS is teaches S&C without biases.
