2009-2010 Cybex National Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year

JOHN GRIECO
Head Strength and Conditioning Coach – University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM)

ULM strength and conditioning head coach John Grieco has been named the Cybex 2009 Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society.

"I am very thankful and honored to receive this prestigious award," Grieco said. "I do what I do to impact young student-athletes' lives and to help them achieve their goals on and off the field, so it's a credit to all of the student-athletes I have worked with. It is special to be recognized and a very heartfelt thank you goes to the people who voted, but I am more about winning here at ULM and doing a great job for my family and our program than an individual award."

Grieco joined the ULM staff in January of 2010 after four seasons as the director of strength and conditioning at UNLV. He oversaw the strength and conditioning efforts of all 17 of UNLV's varsity sports with an emphasis on the Rebels' football program.
