Each of our 22 teams receives comprehensive support and effort from our certified strength and conditioning staff during their designated training times. Strength and conditioning works closely with coaches from each team to implement the most effective year-round training for each team. Through the guidance of strength coaches, student-athletes develop skills such as discipline, perseverance, goal-setting, teamwork, mental toughness and work ethic. These instill habits that will lead students to better and healthier lives.

We run a full-service program, focusing on strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, flexibility, recovery, and injury prevention and management. Strength training emphasizes multi-joint, multi-plane movements such as power cleans, squats and upper-body presses. Rotational movements, balance and stability, unilateral exercises, and core training are also priorities. All programs are periodized to match team goals at given times of the year. Speed, agility and conditioning are tailored to the needs of each sport. Flexibility, recovery, nutrition and injury prevention are incorporated into all team training programs.
