18. Possess comprehensive knowledge of strength & conditioning and sports performance (yoga and Pilates do not count).
19. Prescribe supplement protocols following safe sport practices.
20. Potentially conduct group speaking and education sessions for athletes, medical staff, coaches, or parents.
21. Recognize disordered eating and behavioral eating patterns.
22. Ideally, have an understanding of hormones and peptides (not required).

Requirements:
