You may or may not be aware that Gary Craig, founder of EFT, has phased out the use of the EFT-CC designation for his newer and stricter EFT certifications. As quoted in this letter from Pat Carrington, Craig has said:

"Those using the EFT-CC, EFT-ADV, EFT Level 1, EFT Level 2 and EFT Level 3 or any other non-official form of EFT credentialing should discontinue using them immediately. I realize this is different than my much softer, previous, stance and I apologize for any inconvenience. However, as clearly stated above, these designations have obviously become misleading and there is a compelling legal need to clean this up in the public interest. Please cooperate as the misleading nature of such designations may create unwanted legal complications."

From an NBC affiliate in Kentucky:

Shaun Riddle is a varsity soccer player for Solon High School. You may see her tapping parts of her body on the sidelines as part of her training.

"Almost every practice I use it," she says. "If I find myself getting out of focus, if we're running a lot and I just want to stop, I tap and it gives me more energy."

What's she's doing is called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT. It's based on the Chinese principle of acupuncture meridians.

The belief is that our bodies contain an energy flow and sometimes our emotions get in the way and block that flow. Tapping frees the energy and can help with stress relief, confidence, calming fears -- just about anything that gets in the way of what you want to accomplish.
