WEIGHT ROOM
The Louisville strength and conditioning facility, located in the
Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex, was built in 1998 and
features the latest in strength training equipment.
CORE TRAINING: “Our program starts at the core—the torso, low back and
hips—and addresses needs here first. We believe core/hip strength & power
correlate to improved athleticism.”
INSTRUCTION: “We have 4 coaches whose sole responsibility is football.
Sean Griswold and Bryan Dermody, each had opportunities to be head coaches at
I-A schools last winter, but chose to stay and help a special bunch of kids try to
reach their highest goals.”
TECHNIQUE: “We have the staff and tools to really evaluate & analyze each
individual’s needs. For example, Antoine Sharp will use video as a teaching tool
to point technique flaws and help a player visualize necessary changes to
improve his acceleration.”
