Football Strength & Conditioning

Football Strength and Conditioning is committed to establishing an empowering culture which includes a competitive/challenging environment, holistic development, and safe scientific based training protocols. These ideals adhere to The Golden Standard set by our Head Football Coach and are engrained within our culture to assist the student-athletes in maximizing their full potential, both on and off of the field. Our program encapsulates the necessary mental fortitude that will elevate our student-athletes ability to adapt and overcome difficult situations, ultimately preparing them for life outside of sport. 

Through periodized progressive overload, implemented in our sport specific training protocol, our strength staff provides the best motivational and “hands on” strength and conditioning program in the country. We monitor our athletes’ mental and physical well-being to ensure proper training and recovery protocols are administered, to promote the positive enhancement of performance for each student-athlete. Our goal is to mitigate injuries and keep our athletes on the field healthy and in top physical and mental condition, to give them the edge they need to be successful.

Olympic Strength & Conditioning

The overarching goal of the strength and conditioning department is to empower young women and men to compete like champions. This is achieved by developing, organizing, and administering training interventions underpinned by scientific insight, empirical observation, and needs analysis specific to sport while tailored to each athlete’s individual needs. This student-athlete centered, coach driven, model encourages a holistic approach to training through collaboration with sports medicine, nutrition, and psychology. Our foundation of training begins by establishing key performance indicators (KPI) and addressing risk factors to create resilient athletes. Through the longitudinal assessment of KPIs, we are able to monitor progress of each student-athlete against established norms and set goals to achieve peak performance.
