  • Ohio State Buckeyes: Woody Hayes Athletic Center April 2012

    KickStrength coaches, fitness enthusiasts, and weightroom aficianados will be able to appreciate the accompanying video with this blogpost. I recently visited the Ohio State University and Les Wexnar Football Complex located at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. That's where the Buckeye Football program is going through its big transition phase. Head Coach Urban Meyer didn't hesitate to make Mickey Marotti his first hire to his coaching staff. Marotti was a GA at Ohio State once, an assistant strength coach at West Virginia, strength coached the Bearcats at Cincinnati…..Notre Dame's Fighting Irish and of course, the Florida Gators . Now, like Urban Meyer, he has gone full circle, returning to his alma mater. Marotti takes on added roles in Columbus now, becoming an Assistant Athletic Director for Football Sports Performance. 

    Once Mickey arrived in C-bus, he assembled a staff made up of Associate Director Rick Court, and  strength staff Kenny Parker, Jeff Uhlenhake and Anthony Schlegel. From there, the change was on! They made some adjustments by adding the necessary tools to the toolbox, some Rogers Athletic Pendulum Equipment….Hammer Strength, Shuttle MVPs, and some Pit Belt Squat devices. More changes are in store, but for now, the football squad is priority one. The first drastic change that I noticed from years past is that the offensive linemen had made huge advances in physical appearance. Gone were the wide girths…. these guys look fit and are becoming a strong bunch. The winter conditioning program has already paid dividends and the rest of the team is quite excited about the new strength and conditioning  program and the results that thay have seen. The two scrimmage sessions that I watched were enough to surmise that superior conditioning is a must at OSU. Coach Meyer's offense and practices are fast and furious and demand being in great shape. 

    So, join Coach Rick Court and I as we take a quick tour around their facility where one of the more storied programs in all of college football completes their training.

    Today's Video is brought to you by: Bipro

    Athletic Strength And Power heads to field level for this ASAP Educational Series Performance Video. Head Strength Coach Mickey Marotti prepares this top ranked University of Florida football squad for a game against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Coach Marotti got his start at the Ohio State University… back in the mid-eighties. There he worked as a G.A. for the strength training program devised by present day ASAP Program Director Ted Lambrinides and former Head Strength Coach Steve Bliss. Later, Marotti played an instrumental role at the University of Cincinnati, where he served as head strength coach there. He also helped propel the Bearcats Basketball teams back to national prominence. Marotti began training basketball coach Bob Huggin's hoops team as if they were football players! The intensity was incredible…. and it showed on the court, where UC players were dominate…. and also top ranked!

    Then, Mickey moved on to Notre Dame and instilled his hard nosed work ethic there, too.  When Florida named Urban Meyer as their new football coach, Meyer sought out Marotti as the guy he "absolutely had to have" to train his Gators. Coach Marotti worked his trade at Florida…pushing his players, and demanding all out effort in the weight room. And, the system works. Two of college football's National Championships in three years…. and this season presently ranked #1 in the country. Congratulations Coach Marotti! Those championships were no accident.

    On game day, along with his staff, Marotti becomes one of the top "get back" coaches in all the land. He is also an adviser to Coach Meyer as to the condition of players who have been dinged up during the game.This video depicts some behind the scenes looks at Coach Marotti at approximately 90 minutes prior to kick-off, as the Gators prepare.
