We know her! Luckily she is still part of the MERGE team!

“When I graduated 12 years ago, it was always a goal of mine to come back to UD. Lifting weights and training gave me the ability to start and play in every single game in my four-year career here at UD. Building upon the core values of personal growth, integrity, grit, loyalty, commitment, and empathy provides the best opportunity for the long-term success of our student-athletes. I am extremely grateful the administration took a chance on me. The love for this university and the ability to change student-athletes’ lives through exercise is a what motivates me every day.”

Sidney Kohl (C’11, MBA’16), head strength and conditioning coach at the University of Dubuque.

The off-season from your sport is the in season for strength and conditioning.

Do you follow a program that’s geared toward an end result? Or do you just workout? Does your program address variables such as volume, exercise order, rest periods, progression? Are you training under the eye of an experienced, certified coach?

Training is too big of a commitment to not be following a performance program that works.
