Strength & Conditioning

The UNF strength and conditioning program provides comprehensive, year-round services for every UNF sport and athlete. The program focuses on using resistance training and various conditioning drills to help student-athletes prevent injuries and improve athletic performance.

Each individually tailored program is based on current strength-training science and appropriate protocols. The head strength and conditioning coach works closely with the UNF coaches to devise a unique regimen for each sport and student-athlete. Every team's program is adapted to the specific forces the given athletes need to exert and withstand.

At the newly-completed Strength and Conditioning Facility, which is housed in the Wilkins Family Center in Hodges Stadium, student-athletes receive one-on-one personal attention within a team setting.

Team conditioning programs also take place on practice fields, in UNF Arena, the UNF Aquatic Center and other appropriate venues.

The head strength and conditioning coach tests student-athletes in all appropriate areas of strength, flexibility, conditioning, speed, power and lean body mass. All student-athletes are oriented, monitored, supervised and trained toward specifically individualized and team goals. This program is geared to help produce future national champions.
