One of the biggest changes in college athletics over the past few years has

been the attitude toward strength and conditioning. Performing in the

weight room has become just as important as on-the-court competition,

and Middle Tennessee has one of the very best staffs in the nation

committed to making student-athletes the best they can be.

It all happens in the Blue Raiders' 10,000-plus square foot weight room

facility located adjacent to the Murphy Center and is designed for use by

all Middle Tennessee student-athletes. It is a strength training area that

rivals any in the country. The weight room has been described by many

people as better than any in the immediate area, including those at SEC

and Conference USA schools.
