Check Out Our Tennessee Vols Pics ….Brick by Brick Down There!
Game PhotosCoach Butch Jones is getting a serious foothold down in Knoxville. The guy seems to have a motor that can hang at interstate speeds while the rest of us just make our way through the residential districts. As per usual, and despite a probable overfilled Google Calendar, Jones stopped in to the University of Tennessee Strength & Conditioning Clinic to share some coaching ideas and help motivate and encourage a great turnout at the clinic.
Meanwhile, Head Strength Coach Dave Lawson kept the clinic on pace while Asst Michael Szerszen kept a close watch on his wife who was about to give birth at any second! The speakers, who included ASAP Sports Science Director Ted Lambrinides, did a very nice job. And, this year, U.T. added former U.S. Marine Eric Kapitulik of THE PROGRAM who gave a very interesting talk on leadership development. Clemson's Strength Coach Joey Batson and Georgia Southern's Kyle Speer did super jobs of explaining how they train their athletes for their respective universities.
Also, while I was there, I caught the Vols in training….here's some of the photos!Click here for Part OneClick here for Part TwoASAP Video and Blogpost by Ed Cicale

Ohio State Buckeyes National Champs’ Speed, Strength & Conditioning Clinic
The Buckeyes are fresh off of their 2014 National Championship victory over the Oregon Ducks and still living the dream. However, Coach Mickey Marotti, the squad's Assistant A.D. for Football Sports Performance, seems to have filed that great season to the past and is directing the Buckeyes' "GRIND" toward preparation for the coming season. They've added a few mid-year arrivals to a big returning group of Buckeyes and it will come as no surprise that Ohio State will be the 2015 Pre-Season #1 team in college football. Urban Meyer's Ohio State team has tweaked a few things this year already, including how they go about the daily grind. In fact, the newly revised training and practice schedule has already made a huge difference.
That being said, it's business as usual as Assistant Strength Coach Jeff Uhlenhake prepares for the Ohio State Football Speed Strength & Conditioning Clinic to be held on Saturday, March 7th, 2015 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on the campus of the Ohio State University. The speakers for the Buckeye Strength Clinic are the OSU Strength Staff along with former Ohio State Assistant Strength Coach, now ASAP Sports Science Director Ted Lambrinides and former grad assistant and current Cincinnati Bengals' Strength Coach Chip Morton. So, all staff speakers are directly connected to the Buckeyes!
The clinic is designed to help you in many areas of athlete development. Those areas include, but are not limited to, Functional Movement, Prehabilitation, Elements of Rest and Recovery, Upper and Lower Body Training the OSU Way, and motivational factors applying to both the individual and team.
Registration is from 8am-9am with bagels and coffee included. Lectures begin at 9am and go thru 3pm with a short lunch break at noon (lunch provided). If you have questions or concerns you can email Clinic Director Coach Jeff Uhlenhake or call 614-292-9053

At ASAP, we have been singing the praises of what's going on down there in Knoxville for a few years…ever since Head Coach Butch Jones arrived on the scene. This football program is on a steady incline. Jones is putting the pieces in place and Head Strength Coach Dave Lawson takes the raw talent and trains them for the SEC brand of football that takes place on those Saturday afternoons at Neyland Stadium in front of over 103,000 fans. As a consequence to all of the exciting things taking place in Knoxville, Tennessee Vols Football is poised to become part of the national conversation of college football again! Good 'ol Rocky Top!
So get registered for this clinic….even if it's just to feel the ambiance of one of the crown jewels of collegiate strength training.

Professional Development for 2015
I went to my first strength training and conditioning clinic back in 1983. At the time, I was a graduate assistant strength coach at The Ohio State University. The Head Strength Coach, Steve Bliss, was adamant about his staff seeking out ways to improve their coaching by gaining more knowledge and insight on both the science…. and art…. of strength training and conditioning of athletes.
One of the first clinics that I attended was a clinic in Cincinnati where Cincinnati Bengals' Strength Coach Kim Wood was a speaker. The University of Michigan was represented by their strength coach Mike Gittleson. And, a guy who created and wrote The Steel Tip was there, too; Ken Leistner. These guys were amazing. And, they had some of their athletes on hand to perform some demonstration workouts. These were not the workouts of the local Planet Fitness variety. These guys were going at it with a fervor that most of the coaches in attendance had never seen before.Coach Wood had some of his Bengal players go through a series of exercises and the coaches in attendance took heed! Since the Bengals had recently been a Super Bowl contestant, just about every coach had their notebooks and legal pads going full tilt. Nobody scrolled their text messages or email accounts back then!
Anyway, a few days later, a bunch of grad assistants at Ohio State were busy using their new found knowledge. Young Buckeye football players like Jim Lachey, Keith Byars, Chris Spielman and Jeff Uhlenhake were subjected to a new and intense approach to their workouts. Coach Bliss and his assistant, Ted Lambrinides beamed with approval.
