Twenty nine years ago, it was Head Football Coach Nick Saban at the helm with Ken Mannie anchoring down the strength and conditioning program. Nowadays, it's Football Coach Jason Candle and Head Strength Coach Brad Bichey. ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power braved snow and cold to finally make our way through the beautiful limestone homes of the Ottawa Hills village area and on to The Glass Bowl…. home stadium of the Toledo Rockets. That's where the Larimer Athletic Complex is and that's where you'll find Brad Bichey. The strength staff were just finishing several morning groups and a few guys prepping for the NFL Combine were making their way in for their respective workouts. Ted Lambrinides, myself (Ed Cicale) and Mt. Saint Joseph University Strength Coach Mike Shibinski got a full tour of some of the recent upgrades at Toledo Football and a full update on Rocket Power. In fact, the Toledo Rockets led the MAC in football attendance in 2017 and that may get back to back honors in 2018 as they will be hosting the Miami Hurricanes who'll be flying in from Coral Gables, Florida! The defending MAC Conference Champions will be strictly business as they hope to secure another addition to their trophy cases.
Coach Bichey and I were able to take a few minutes to record this February 2018 ASAP Podcast….. here's the latest on Rocket Power!
