With the new intercollegiate athletic facility - opened in June of 2004 - USF's student-athletes have a state-of-the-art 10,900 square foot strength room to meet their conditioning needs.
The spacious facility has been designed to provide student-athletes with everything they need to succeed, including Mondo Sport impact flooring, Power Lift combo racks, Iron Grip custom urethane plates and dumbbells, Useaka bumper plates and bars, cardio equipment, mirrors, and a state-of-the-art stereo system with 40 speakers.
Each student-athlete is trained to maximize on-field performance. Strength and power training, speed development, lateral speed and agility, anaerobic conditioning and flexibility are all considered when designing a players program. The strength and conditioning staff also strives to educate the student-athletes on nutrition, dietary supplements and related issues.
The strength and conditioning program is administered by USF associate director of athletics Barry Clements and operated day-to-day by Head strength coach Ronnie McKeefery, who manages a staff of four additional strength coaches. Together they are responsible for designing and implementing strength and conditioning programs for the student-athletes.
