Coach Paul Harker…on the go!

We just checked in on one of Coach Ken Mannie's former players and assistants Paul Harker. Mannie, one of the most renowned in the business, is the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Michigan State Spartans and takes pride in the fact that many of his former staffers meet up with success in their own careers after departing East Lansing. No question that it must be difficult to lose a quality coach….. though it speaks wonders for Mannie's program. 
Coach Paul Harker is carrying on the tradition at the "Cradle of Coaches" Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and helping to build a strong Redhawk program. And just this week, Graduate Assistant Coach Niko Palazeti departed the Duffy Daughtery Building where the Spartans train and headed south to Starkville, Mississippi to join Coach Rick Court and the Bulldogs.
Much like Mannie, Paul Harker and Niko Palazeti empahsize neck training! 
Check out Niko in action in the video!
