Strength and conditioning. Those are words student-athletes often dread because of the early morning workouts and the endurance it requires. But, to become an optimal Division I athlete, it’s a must. Brian Whiting enters his sixth season as the West Virginia University women’s basketball team’s strength coach. For Whiting, he wants to see incremental daily improvement.
“Day-to-day my job is to schedule and organize programs and create workouts for the girls in the weight room and depending on the season, our conditioning workouts,” Whiting said. “All of my workouts I create on the court, in the weight room or out on the field are designed to get them to become better basketball players and to improve their performance on the floor and also help reduce the chance of injuries.
