The St. Xavier High School Strength & Conditioning Clinic was a successful event. Carlo Alvarez, who is the strength and conditioning coach of Ohio’s reigning #1 football squad, played host to this clinic where Ken Leistner was the Master of Ceremonies and ASAP Director Ted Lambrinides was one of the seminar’s speakers.  The  clinic awarded  CEU’s  in accordance with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

Kicking off the clinic was the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year (2007), Ron Zook of The University of Illinois where he serves as the Head Football Coach. Coach Zook had a very nice presentation along the theme of "Competition" and had some good videos to share which depicted the competitive situations that he gets his players into during the off-season. In fact, after watching that video of the players battling to exhaustion in a truck tire drill, it’s easy to see why their nicknamed the "Fightin’ Illini".

After his talk, Coach Zook spent some time with ASAP Podcaster Ed Cicale…. discussing a little bit about his days at Miami University (Ohio), known as the "Cradle of Coaches", where the Redskins only lost one game in three seasons while he played defensive back there. Coach also emphasized the importance of the off-season strength training and conditioning program.

Zook coached at several other schools including the University of Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, and Florida before arriving in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. He made a few stops in the NFL, too.
