I passed the CPSS the hard way — so you don't have to
This guide isn't scraped from a syllabus. It's built by someone who sat the exam, self-taught, and has spent 20 years teaching the coaches it's written for.
Hi — I'm Kahei Tse, "Coach K." I passed the CPSS self-taught, working through the material on my own, and I remember exactly where it slowed me down.
I built this because I didn't want you to lose the same weeks I did. Over 20+ years I've coached more than 1,000 athletes and mentored the coaches who train them. I hold an MSc in Performance Coaching (University of Stirling) and a BSc in Kinesiology & Exercise Science, alongside the CPSS and CSCS.
I'm Co-Founder & President of AQ Strong, a private high-performance centre in Hong Kong, and I run its Academy — coach-education courses and workshops — having also taught on international programs (EXOS, Exxentric).
That mix matters for one reason: I know how S&C coaches actually think, where they get stuck, and how this exam likes to test it. The guide is built around those exact pressure points, with the study tactics and exam-day approach I used to pass.
