☕️ S&C Daily — You Don't Have to Be the Strongest

In a 247Sports piece, Rutgers football head coach Greg Schiano gave director of sports performance Spencer Brown a glowing one-year review. Brown took over last spring after nearly a dozen years at Dartmouth, stepping in a day before the summer program started when Jay Butler departed.

Schiano frames the role as bigger than physical development - it's the bond and motivation built by training hard together. "I want to bring Coach Brown up here, he's the head coach of the summer," Schiano said. "He's with them more than we are... and I have a lot of faith in the job he's doing."

Oklahoma State women's basketball has hired Glenn Cain as its new strength & conditioning coach, head coach Jacie Hoyt announced. Cain spent the past five years at Rutgers working primarily with the women's basketball team, building programs for speed, strength, agility and conditioning. Before that he had stops at New Mexico, Kansas - where he spent five seasons with a program that sent eight players to the NBA Draft - and Frostburg State. "I've never hired anyone with more positive things said about them by coaches, players, and co-workers," Hoyt said.

Colorado posted a video from offseason workouts showing Director of Strength and Conditioning Steve Englehart tapping sophomore guard Josiah Sanders to lead a controlled pushup drill. "You don't have to be the strongest in the room to lead, you just have to try and you've got to go hard," Englehart told the group.

His message: "If somebody is weak... we pick them up. The last name is going to be different, but the front is the same. It's Colorado."

Auburn Football's strength staff broke down the philosophy behind their offseason work. The theme: every movement has a reason, nothing is wasted, and players are taught the why behind it all - developing physicality and a winning culture from week zero to week 16.

Memphis women's basketball has hired Arian Fraile as assistant director of athletic performance. He joins the Tigers from Georgia Southern.
