Athlete Now Partners with IUSCA to Support Growth and Quality in Strength and Conditioning
At Athlete Now, our mission has always been to connect athletes, practitioners, and facilities with trusted partners who are raising standards across the sporting industry. We’re proud to announce our new partnership with the International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association (IUSCA) — a global leader in professional education, accreditation, and research in Strength and Conditioning.
About the IUSCA
Founded in 2019, the IUSCA is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to advancing excellence in sports performance and exercise science worldwide. As the only international accreditation body for S&C within higher education, IUSCA works with universities and practitioners globally to develop evidence-based education and promote best practice in the field.
Their Degree Accreditation Programme, International Qualifications Framework (IQF), and industry-recognised qualifications — including the Accredited International Strength and Conditioning Practitioner (aISCP) and Master Distinction (mISCP) — set a new global benchmark for professional development.
They also publish the International Journal of Strength and Conditioning, a Diamond Open Access journal that makes high-quality research freely available to the global S&C community.
Why This Partnership Matters
One of the biggest challenges facing coaches and practitioners today is the cost of keeping up with the industry.
Courses, conferences, and journals often come with a price tag that can make professional growth difficult.
That’s why Athlete Now is thrilled to partner with IUSCA — an organisation that actively removes barriers by offering affordable, globally recognised qualifications and free access to research through the International Journal of Strength and Conditioning.
This partnership directly reflects our shared values:
- Promoting quality and integrity in sports education
- Supporting the growth and professionalisation of Strength and Conditioning
- Making continuous learning accessible to all practitioners
How We’ll Work Together
Through this collaboration, Athlete Now and IUSCA will:
- Provide exclusive member discounts on IUSCA courses and events
- Share educational content and research through joint blog posts and features
- Support career development pathways for practitioners worldwide
- We will offer IUSCA members exclusive discounted rates to their memberships with us.
- We will refer to the IUSCA and use their qualification framework as one of the standards for registering with us as an accredited strength and conditioning coach.
Together, we’re helping to shape a future where knowledge, collaboration, and quality drive the development of Strength and Conditioning.
A Shared Commitment to Industry Growth
The partnership between Athlete Now and IUSCA represents a step forward for our shared mission — to make high-quality sports education accessible, affordable, and globally recognised.
Together, we’re helping to remove barriers, open doors, and ensure that practitioners and coaches have access to the tools and insights they need to excel.
