NATIONAL STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES NEWEST RSCC*E COACHES

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — The NSCA is proud to name 27 new strength and conditioning coaches who have obtained the prestigious Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach® Emeritus (RSCC*E) designation in 2024, growing this exclusive group to a total of 277.

Known as the badge of excellence for elite coaches, the NSCA’s Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach (RSCC) is the organization’s highest coaching designation. It signifies that a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist® (CSCS®)-certified coach has demonstrated experience and knowledge in their profession. Within the RSCC designation, only coaches who have 20 years or more of professional experience meet the criteria for the esteemed RSCC*E recognition.

“To dedicate 20+ years to this profession isn’t just longevity — it’s legacy. These 27 coaches embody the best of strength and conditioning through their consistent excellence. RSCC*E honors their decades of impact on athletes, teams, and the profession itself,” emphasizes Eric McMahon, NSCA Coaching and Sport Science Program Manager.

Congratulations to our new 2024 RSCC*E Coaches!

All coaches who earn RSCC designation are added to the NSCA’s searchable RSCC Registry as verification of their credentials. Additionally, every RSCC Coach participates in annual training and assessments beyond what is required of their peers and is held to the highest standard of practice in the profession.

Coaches seeking to earn RSCC distinction need two years of verifiable experience working full-time as a designated strength and conditioning coach in a scholastic, collegiate, professional, national team, or private sport team organization or embedded within a tactical (military or public safety) training unit as a dedicated strength and conditioning professional.
