Default Career Advice

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to figure out the proper course for my career. I want to primarily work with the athletic population from teens on up. I've got a master's degree in sports phys. spending time as a student S&C coach. I also have spent 1 year working on pro baseball. Currently, due to some unfortunate factors, I'm back working in personal training. This is my 5th year doing so. I'm starting to lean more towards pro baseball or college. Anyone have advice? Would it be better to try to do it from a private standpoint like Chad Waterbury, Alwyn Cosgrove and others have done successfully?

If you enjoy kids why not make that your niche? It is a HYOOOOGE unsaturated field with limitless potential.

I strongly recommend looking into IYCA. They have all sorts of marketing resources, and Brian Grasso is an excellent coach and human being in general. I absolutely love their philosophy and they are looking for talented trainers like yourself.
