Hey, I was wondering if I could get some answers from the editors or anyone else with knowledge. Im 17 and looking to study exercise science or something like that in college to become a strength & conditioning coach, or something similar. Basically what you guys do interests me. I dont want to get a simple degree and just be a personal trainer or something, I want to have more knowledge than that and make more money, if that makes sense. Can anyone help me out and tell me what I should study, or can you editors tell me what path you guys took? Thanks a lot.
Don’t do what I did, which was to fail Engligh and PE (and most other subjects now that I’m thinking of it) all the way through school.
But here’s my best advice: do what really interests you, don’t worry about the $$$. Find your passion and then spend the rest of your life mastering it, and everything else will fall in place.

First off, I would read all the “Meet the Press” articles as they give a lot of insight as to how we started out.
The best thing I can tell you though is that you’ll learn as much as YOU choose; if most of us stopped our learning when we got out of school, we sure as hell wouldn’t be writing here. Learning is a life-long process including videos, books, seminars, or anything else you can get your hands on.
Stay strong
