Strength and Conditioning
The strength & conditioning program at Berkshire is offered as a fall and winter afternoon program, incorporated into teams' pre- and in-season plans, as well as consultation provided on an individual basis. Within all of these options, plans are designed with safety and injury reduction as a starting place, focusing on strength, power, speed, agility, mobility, and recovery. Our athlete-centered training programs aim to meet all students where they are, guide them through their individual, collegiate, or professional goals, and help them not only perform at their best during competition but also feel good about their health and well-being.
Tony Amolo '13 serves as Strength and Conditioning coach and is also a member of our Science Department, teaching chemistry and biology. He serves as an advisor and lives on campus.
