This has been a difficult spring and summer for Dwight Galt IV, Old Dominion University's Director of Sports Performance, who is facing a series of challenges he's never taken on before.

When the coronavirus forced ODU students to stay home for the rest of the school year, he worked with his staff to design workouts for football players in their homes.

He also helped put a plan together a plan for athletes to train when they return to campus designed to keep them as safe as possible.

And in the last three weeks, he has been training football players as they begin to get into shape for the season, all the while practicing social distancing.
