Teresa,
Credentials matter so why not go with the best?
The USATF has great certifications if you are looking to work with top tier athletes. They offer a great two-day workshop on weekends nation wide. I highly recommend the level 1 cert. and from there you can advance to level 2 etc.
Here is the link:

Good luck,
Shlomo
