The mission of the University of Southern Mississippi strength and conditioning program is to maximally develop the physical and mental traits of our student athletes that will allow them to compete and succeed at the highest attainable levels. We will demand discipline, relentlessness, and intelligent effort while we work towards improving each athlete's work capacity, strength, explosiveness, speed and agility. We will cultivate a high energy, up tempo environment where enthusiasm and competition will flourish. We will attack this mission with a scientifically supported, comprehensive approach and specific considerations of the metabolic demands and injury risks of each individual sport.
