Before the sun shines upon East Lansing, a typical day begins for Ken Mannie, the head strength and conditioning coach of the MSU football team. While the players aren’t scheduled for at least another few hours, Mannie said he likes to get in his own workout in the early hours of the morning.
Afterward, the players file in for their usual morning workout after Mannie was done. From there, his day is only getting started. Mannie brings in a level of respect for the football program, being named the 2015 stength and conditioning coach of the year.
