Since completing his military service, former U.S. Marine Sean Mallander has been a teacher and educational administrator. He is currently an educator with School District 27J in Henderson, Colorado. Among his other group affiliations, Sean Mallander actively supports the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

An authority in the field of sports science, NSCA spearheads a broad spectrum of educational initiatives, publishes several research journals, and confers various industry certifications. It also publicly expresses its core understanding and stances on key sports science topics through a series of official position statements.

The NSCA position statement on anabolic drugs, such as androgens and human growth hormone, has remained unchanged since 2009 when it first appeared in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. As the use of these dangerous performance-enhancing drugs continues to be a major concern for sports organizations and government bodies alike, NSCA strives to mitigate their abuse by athletes. In addition to citing athlete health concerns, the NSCA stands against anabolic drugs to promote ethical play and fair competition in sports of all kinds.
