DEVELOPMENT Goal: To Ensure Every Athlete Gets Stronger and Explosive

The University of Minnesota football program is designed to maximize our players strength, speed and football agility. Our training regimen divided into three seasons: • pre-season • in-season • off-season We take the necessary steps to ensure each aspect of training receives it’s proper attention. While strength training is essential to compete at a high level, we also like to emphasize speed development in order to ensure that we are able to compete with any team in the country. NUTRITION We are able to closely monitor the nutritional values of all the team meals, and ensure that our players are getting the necessary nutrients in order to optimize the ability to train and compete! Our goal is to ensure that our athletes our able to stay healthy and decrease the potential for injuries. If an athlete is committed to eating right, training hard, and resting (sleeping) for the purposes of essential recovery, then there is no reason that he won’t be able to maintain the highest level of physical conditioning possible.
