  • Purdue Athletics:Director of Sports Performance; Duane Carlisle

    On a recent trip to Purdue University, ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power, checked in on the Director of Sports Performance for the Boilermakers, Duane Carlisle. The high energy coach took some time to share some information on Movement Prep in this video recorded in the Mollenkopf Athletic Center and at the Schleicher Field.
    The successful Coach Carlisle also has a website and blog:

    Boiler Up!

  • Tennessee Vols Football Strength Training: Coach Dave Lawson

    IMG_5317ASAP visited Knoxville, Tennessee just before the Tennessee Vols were to have their first Spring Football practices under new Head Football Coach Butch Jones. I was finally able to catch up with Dave Lawson, the Director of Strength & Conditioning for the storied football program there. There’s no doubt that Lawson understands very clearly what the expectations are of the thousands of fans, and former players, who make up Vol Nation. Thus, Coach Lawson, his trusted assistant, Mike Szerszen and strength staff have rolled up their sleeves…and they’ve stayed that way since their arrival. They need to prepare the squad for the rigors of SEC (South Easten Conference) Football. Period.

    Here’s what they’ve doing at The University of Tennessee

  • Front Squat Coaching Points with Ohio State Asst Strength Coach Anthony Schlegel

    As 1There's a right way to train…so, we went to one of the premier training centers in the world and of course, all of college football. That would be the Ohio State University football strength training complex at The Woody Hayes Athletic Center. When Head Football Coach Urban Meyer got to town, he immediately summoned his long time colleague, Strength & Conditioning Coach Mickey Marotti to take on the task of training the Buckeyes to make competitive runs at national championships. Marotti had done it at Florida twice with Coach Meyer…. so they set out to accomplish championships at Ohio State University. Their first season garnered a perfect 12-0 season. Not a bad start! Marotti assembled a strength training staff with a wide array of talents, expertise and motivational techniques. Jeff Uhlenhake is a a former Buckeye All-American and 10 year NFL star. Kenny Parker has Florida Gator roots and knows how to extract the right intensity from the players during workouts. Rick Court is non-stop energy from 5am till 5pm.

    And, in this video another former OSU star, Anthony Schlegel talks Front Squat technique. Schlegel was a 3rd rounder himself in the NFL 2006 Draft (NY Jets) and had stint with the Cincinnati Bengals, too. Anthony was a popular player at Ohio State where he was a 2005 All Big Ten selection. Interestingly, he also owns a few powerlifting world records!
