SAN DIEGO - Rick Court has been named the football strength & conditioning coach at San Diego State, head coach Rocky Long announced Thursday.
Court spent the past two seasons as the director of football strength and conditioning at the University of Toledo, where he oversaw all the aspects of weight training and conditioning with the program. The Rockets finished 2010 with an 8-5 record and a berth in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
"We are excited that Rick is joining the Aztec coaching staff," Long said. "He comes to San Diego State with a great reputation and we're anxious to get started. He's hard working, professional and does a tremendous job of getting the most out of his student-athletes."
Prior to Toledo, Court spent six years on the strength and conditioning staff at Bowling Green, including the 2008 season as the head strength and conditioning coach for the Falcons.
Court is a 2002 graduate of Michigan State, where he played baseball and received a bachelor's degree in kinesiology. He later earned a master's degree in sport administration from Eastern Kentucky in 2003.
In 2001 and 2002, Court was an intern in the strength and conditioning program at MSU, where he worked with the hockey, basketball and football teams. He's also interned in strength training with the Detroit Tigers.
Court and his wife, Molly, have a daughter and a son.
