Ross Bowsher, the former Kent State football strength and conditioning coach supervising the June 13 practice where football player Tyler Heintz died, said on his job application in 2015 he was nationally certified.
Kent State released a statement Aug. 14 announcing Bowsher's dismissal after an internal review found he provided false information about his certification. The statement also said the university’s review found the workout was conducted “in accordance with national protocols for student-athlete health and safety, and the session was supervised appropriately by qualified personnel.”
KentWired obtained a copy of the form and Bowsher’s resume through a public records request.
