Scott Cochran, Director of Strength and Conditioning at the University of Alabama, has a unique approach to preparing the Crimson Tide football team for their season. As a two-time national strength coach of the year award winner, the level of energy that Cochran brings to practice each day motivates his players to push themselves to their mental and physical limits. His enthusiasm, intensity and passion for the football program is a large part of their success since joining the program in 2007.
C.J. Mosley, former linebacker for the Alabama Crimson Tide
recalls a training session in which the team ran 16, 110 yard sprints.
“And I felt like I wanted to quit,” Mosely said. “Some players were giving up. Some players were throwing up. I made my way through it, but it was probably
the longest practice I ever had. My
freshman year, the most we did as a team was 32. No shade.
All sun. 100 degree weather. It’s all about mindset at Alabama. You either buy into the program or you don’t.”
"We're trying to create for you and our team, which we've always been successful doing, so no matter what the circumstances in the game, no matter who we're playing, no matter where we're playing, we always have more mental toughness, more physical toughness, more ability to dominate the other team than they have to dominate us."
