2008 CANISIUS COLLEGE BASEBALL Strength and Conditioning Jeff Lee Head Coach Strength & Conditioning In July 2007, Jeff Lee was named the head strength and conditioning coach at Canisius College. In this role, he is responsible for overseeing the design and implementation of the strength training and conditioning programs for the school’s 16 intercollegiate teams. Lee joined the Canisius staff after serving a two-year stint as the assistant strength and conditioning coach at Yale University. There, the 26- year old Lee worked with 11 of the Bulldogs’ varsity teams and served as the primary strength and conditioning coach for the men’s and women’s ice hockey teams. He was responsible for designing and implementing speed, strength and conditioning programs for the hockey teams, while also overseeing the department’s student work-study staff. Prior to his time at Yale, Lee was an assistant at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. He worked primarily with the school’s men’s basketball program as he earned his master’s degree in exercise science. He also worked at the United States Olympic Education Center in Marquette, Mich., where he developed and implemented Olympic-based strength training for 23 elite amateur boxers. Lee received his undergraduate degree in physical education from Western Illinois in 2003. A member of National Strength and Conditioning Association and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association, he started his career as an intern at Binghamton University in August 2003. Lee and his wife Ashley, were married July 27, 2007. The couple currently resides in Buffalo. The primary objective of the strength and conditioning program at Canisius College is for each athlete to stay injury free while assisting them in reaching their maximal level of performance. This is accomplished through an aggressive approach to sport specific training. Great care is taken to concentrate on the joint areas that are most susceptible to injury, muscle groups that are involved in the activity and conditioning specific energy systems according to the demands of the athlete’s specific sport. Developing linear speed, agility, range of movement, absolute strength, functional strength and sport specific power is important in helping the athlete reach their highest potential. Along with strength training, a high level of conditioning is required for optimal performance. To accomplish this, we implement high-performance metabolic conditioning as a foundation of total preparation. The strength and conditioning staff works to not only enhance each athlete’s strength and conditioning levels, but provide an environment conducive to the development of discipline and leadership skills for reaching optimum physical potential and mental toughness. 26
