AUBURN, Ala. - The son of a California high school coach with a commitment to conditioning, Ryan Russell watched his dad’s baseball players get bigger, faster and stronger.
“I saw the difference it made in his athletes and the passion he had about it,” says Russell, Auburn football’s director of strength and conditioning.
In his final semester of high school, his core classes completed, Ryan could have coasted to Commencement. Instead, he took anatomy and physiology.
“I knew what I wanted to do at a very young age,” he says.
