Daniel Kohn, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach
Gary Demena, Graduate Assistant Coach The California State University Northridge Athletic Performance Training facility is located in Redwood Hall adjacent to The Matadome. The 3,500 square foot facility includes 6,000 pounds of free weight, 5,000 pounds of dumb bells, and 3,000 pounds of Olympic weightlifting bumper plates. The training center houses ten Olympic weightlifting platforms, ten multidimensional power racks, four glute-ham/hyper extension benches, and a variety of selecterized machines. The facility also contains a selection of other training modalities such as medicine balls, stability balls, plyometric boxes and hurdles, flex resistance bands, slide boards, and jump ropes.
Training Philosophy The goal of the Strength and Conditioning staff at California State University Northridge is to foster a positive training environment that will provide each student-athlete the opportunity to reach their athletic potential. The true success of any strength and conditioning program is in the design and implementation. We believe it is necessary to educate and motivate student-athletes about the importance of a multi-faceted strength and conditioning program. Experience has shown that better educated student-athletes are likely to train harder and smarter. The Matador training experience encourages competition, accountability, and self-discipline.
