DAN DALRYMPLE
Head Strength and Conditioning Coach - New Orleans Saints

By designing extensive workout programs – crafted to the needs of every player as well as the demands of each position group – strength & conditioning coach Dan Dalrymple has been a key member of the New Orleans Saints organization since arriving in 2006. His responsibilities and influence both in the weight room and on the field remain constant throughout the entire year.

The efforts of Dalrymple and his staff have played a key role in the club's success over the past four seasons. His routines, focused on building and maintaining strength and stamina, while minimizing injuries have paid dividends for the Saints. Ten players have been selected to the Pro Bowl during his tenure, seven for the first time in their careers.

In 2009's Super Bowl XLIV Championship season, evidence of the conditioning of the club was their stamina throughout games, as they outscored opponents 139-48 in the fourth quarter, finishing first in the NFL in both points scored and allowed. He was named as the recipient of the Cybex Professional Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society and the Samson Strength and Conditioning NFL Coach of the Year award from American Football Monthly.
