Strength With A Purpose: The Story of Alex Merrill



DURHAM, N.C. – From working with student-athletes in the weight room to cheering for them on the golf course, Alex Merrill has played a vital part as the sports performance coach for the men's and women's golf programs.

Merrill arrived at Duke in 2010 after serving two years as the head strength and conditioning coach at Attain Sports Performance in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts.

During his time as an intern, Merrill got his first taste of golf when he shadowed the men's team during their strength and conditioning sessions.

"He's always had a great level of enthusiasm and passion," said head men's golf coach Jamie Green.
