Strength and Conditioning

The Nichols Strength & Conditioning program is the foundation of athletic success for more than 500 student-athletes, who train in our facility two to three times each week throughout the academic year. Under the leadership of Director of Strength & Conditioning TJ Cahill, our student-athletes develop the strength, speed, resilience, and discipline needed to compete at their highest level while reducing injury risk. Gifts to Bison Blitz help provide modern training equipment, performance technology, and facility enhancements that benefit every varsity program and ensure our student-athletes have the resources to train, recover, and perform at their best.

• Equipment Upgrade - Help us replace some of our older barbells. New barbells will help us continue to enhance our student-athlete performance, while making sure they are training in a safe environment.
   
• Equipment Upgrade - At each rack, we have tablet stands that are falling apart. These stands hold our tablets that support our training app, called FYTT. Having a working tablet stand at each rack ensures that our student-athletes can easily access their training program each session. Updated tablet stands will also enhance the overall look of the varsity weight room, showing an appeal to prospective student-athletes.
   
• Equipment Addition - Help us purchase a second set of laser timers for timing speed and agility drills with precision. This system ensures that the data we use to monitor our student-athlete performance and wellness is accurate throughout the course of the season.
