Default NSCA Strength and Conditioning Coach?
I came across a new trainer's business card at my gym the other day. It said they were a NSCA Strength and Conditioning Coach. I'm only familiar with the CSCS or the CPT titles. Is this similar?

CSCS=Certified strength and conditioning specialist, I'm sure they mean that or they just made up a cert.

ha, even after taking the CSCS I didn't realize that... I don't use the term "coach" for myself, but I also didn't realize there was technically a difference

Not to hijack this thread, but does anyone know competitive the research grants are with the NSCA?
