MT trainers, strength staff adjusting to new norms

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are being felt all over the world, and for Middle Tennessee's student-athletes, it's thrown a major wrench into day-to-day activities.

Not only can teams not meet for practice, but student-athletes aren't even allowed to utilize MT's weight room facilities, which will be closed until at least April 6.

"It's been a challenge, but we still have plenty to keep us busy," head strength coach Matt Hickmann said. "Communication has been super important. We want to make sure they're getting their work done but at the same time following guidelines and being safe while they're at home social distancing.
