My family and I were friends with the Palmieri's in Jacksonville, Florida. He's a great guy and a hard worker, from what I remember.

John, Awesome video man you hit the right question great answers I picked up my Degree Sports and Exercise Psychology and newest Certification from IYCA High school Strength and conditioning the coach answers was on point.

[@JamesDixonDontSleep]

Good video man. Though I was aware of the process, it was interesting to hear it from a Professional S&C

[@ksmith80]

Excellent video. Thanks for doing this and thanks to Coach P for taking time out to chat with you!

[@kneticsfit]

Excellent video! I'm a training in nyc that has always had a passion to be a strength coach for a team. I substitute teach PE and currently run a small private studio.

[@kylesillon1836]

Jon, Thanks for this interview, I really appreciate it. As a first-year undergraduate studying to enter the exercise and sports performance field, this is extremely valuable information. Heard a lot of what I'm planning for now, and also heard some new things that I will take with me. Inspiration. - Kyle, University of New England, ME

[@GabrielHernandez-sz4ux]

Kyle Anthony Sillon how have things worked out for you?

[@enriquelopez627]

What an awesome video thank you for the upload. However I would definitely recommend going the Kinesiology route for undergraduate with a better understanding of the physiology of the human body and how the body works.

[@olid2093]

This is a great video, I've been confused for a while where to go next but this has given me a lot of clarity

[@MrVixxx69]

Wow! Exactly what I was looking for! He even helped me decide as a current teaching obtaining my PE endorsement and NSCA certification I was wondering if it was necessary for me to go back to school for kinesiology or even exercise science.

[@MrVixxx69]

Team FitBoss I guess my question would still remain should I go back to school to get my BS in kinesiology/exercise science even though I already have a masters in Education with an endorsement of Physical education. I really am thinking about it for the expanded knowledge plus the networking? Please help.

Hey Johnathan, I just watch this video and it was very useful. Thank you for getting the interview and providing this information to us trying to pursue Strength and Conditioning profession. I have two questions. One, I'm a Junior at a private university in Kerrville, Texas about to be a senior graduating with a BS in Exercise Science in General Health. Now would I be able to still get into the school programs and teach if I just get a teachers certification and also have the CSCS certification too? And two, coming out of a small private university and wanting to go get my masters, what do you suggest I get my masters if I want to pursue Strength and Conditioning profession?

[@mikesaldivar2707]

Awesome interview Jonathan, I have a question for you. If you were to recommend 5 books to me, what would they be?

[@mikesaldivar2707]

Thank you, keep up the good work

[@loyalroom182]

Wow

[@connordaman]

The dude at 20:00 lol

[@jaybreezy4624]

Hi I just watched this video, I'm 20 years old and is going the physical education route as my undergraduate still the best way to go ? and after that do I go for my css degree? My dream is to be a strength and conditioning coach for high school kids, please reply thank you! -Jason Nguyen

[@koolaido7]

Montclair state woo!

[@cristianluna6908]

Does it pay well?

[@JP11994]

I would disagree with Mr.Palmieri I have Professors who graduated with a degree in Ex science that are amazing teachers. I think Ex science is more beneficial degree vs PE degree because i have had PE teachers in high school that have no clue in basics of exercise.

[@JPFitnessPro]

+How to sell personal training that wasn't my comment, but I have to say that you are a very understanding person to not directly talk down to someone else who disagrees with you. much respect

[@TopCheddarSnip]

Correct me if im wrong but don't most PE programs have exercise physiology courses along with applied anatomy? I feel as if you'd probably learn everything you need to know as a strength and conditioning coach in a PE program. The benefit to taking this program is that you have more opportunity for employment, as a PE you can also acquire your CSEP if you wish. I am currently taking fitness and health promotion diploma program which gives me many certificates including fitness class instructional, canfitpro basic personal training (same as ACE but in canada), as well as a basic nutrition certificate, and your strength and conditioning cert. WITH THAT, I can also get a bridged program in PE so i only need to take 2 years of university to acquire a degree in PE. With that I could easily work wherever in the industry.

[@bigchac]

I'm 25 years old and will be finishing my sophomore year of college in December. I'm currently a Business Management major but I've always had the desire and passion to become a Strength and Conditioning coach. Is it too late to become one? Will my age hinder my opportunities? Thanks!

[@DomenBremec]

+Ryan Chacanias It won't. I do study Kinesiology but just like that - if that's something you want, what stands in your way? Do it, rather than regret it for the rest of your life.

[@bigchac]

+Domen Bremec Thanks man. Is it still possible to get your CSCS even if you majored in something non-exercise science related?

[@unicornsparkle7447]

Hi

[@sweetg123456]

If one has a degree that is not in an exercise science-related field (ie philosophy in my case) would it be possible to learn through certifications and volunteering at the high school level (possibly teaching at a high school and volunteering with the football team) and either get a full-time position at a high school or even find your way as an assistant at the college level? The CSCS cert prerequisites say one needs a bachelor's degree but does not specify the type of degree needed. Thanks in advance!

[@sweetg123456]

***** Thanks a ton!

[@NYCNative]

The Giants have led the league in injuries the past two years and it hasn't been particularly close. I wish they would fire Jerry Palmieri. Whatever he is doing is not helping this team be strong and conditioned which is only his job title...
