Oklahoma's weight training program is a pioneer in the development of strength and conditioning, and is a vital part of the Sooners' traditional success. OU strength and conditioning coaches utilize their expertise along with a wide array of equipment and tests to produce national championship-caliber athletes.
Evaluation, goal-oriented programs, supervision and state-of-the-art facilities help Oklahoma athletes become bigger, faster, stronger and more flexible. The Robin Siegfried & Family Strength and Conditioning Complex, located in the Barry Switzer Center, has 13,000 square feet to facilitate the intensive training of OU athletes.
Jerry Schmidt, director of sports enhancement, says the Complex is a state-of-the-art facility where athletes work closely with five full-time staff members. "Oklahoma recognizes the importance of conditioning, "says Schmidt. "This facility is reflective of that commitment."
