Our Mission:  Ithaca College Strength and Conditioning is committed to student-athlete growth and development through athletic education – preparing them to be visionary leaders on and off the field while competing at the highest level
 

• Providing a student-led learning environment, our strength and conditioning program is based on current scientific research and practical application with primary emphasis on athletic performance enhancement and reduction of injuries.
   
• As academic preceptor to graduate and undergraduate students, the Strength and Conditioning Head Coach oversees the implementation of a comprehensive strength and conditioning program supporting 27 teams and 850 student-athletes.
