So, if your goal is solely to get a Masters for the purpose of possibly gaining access to an elite athletic population, i.e. a college, or national team, (and I would contend that every prospective masters student ask themselves why they want to pursue a Masters), then I would say that there are definitely other ways to achieve that goal.

My goal is to work with the elite athletic population but I grew up and went to university in NS. As you may know Calgary is much different then Halifax in many ways, and one huge difference is sports and available facilities.

When I went to university I did not see a career is sports so I did not take any exercise science. I should have listeded to to those who say do what you love. Now a few years latter I have moved to Atlanta, much better weather and sports than in Halifax, and want to work with athletes and do not feel like returning to school fulltime but have found that without a degree in exercise science or related field is making my goal more difficult.


I do have CSCS, USAW, and USAT&F certifications but I am not sure where to go next. I have looked into volunteering with different sports and teams but even that has even been difficult. I would like to hear your thoughts as to the different avenues to reach and eventually work with elite athletes without a masters or science degree?
Thanks
