Dan Huff has been hired as the first full-time strength and conditioning coach for NJIT athletics.
Huff brings solid experience to the newly-created post, which represents another step in NJIT’s commitment to the growth of its young Division I program, which includes 19 intercollegiate varsity teams.
A formal and ongoing strength and conditioning program is part of most Division I programs, with an eye toward maximizing individual and team performance in competition.
The strength and conditioning coach also works closely with the Athletic Training Staff in the areas of injury prevention and injury rehabilitation.
Huff previously served five years as strength and conditioning coordinator at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ. He worked with the Knights 18-sport NCAA Division I athletic program from 2003 to 2008.
A 2002 graduate of William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ, Huff was Sports Performance Director for Velocity Sports Performance in Wall, NJ, immediately before accepting his position at NJIT. He is also owner and head strength coach of Huff Training, LLC.
Huff holds numerous certifications, including NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and YMCA Strength Training Instructor.
