AUBURN, Ala. - If you picture a strength and conditioning coach with a whistle and some barbells, it's time to refresh that image.

At Auburn, you can add sport technology, which provides coaches new ways to integrate heart rate, GPS and other performance data.

Megan Young, Auburn soccer's strength and conditioning coach, still times the Tigers' fitness runs and oversees weightlifting workouts, but she also directs a high-tech operation that uses innovative technology and leverages Auburn University's world-class faculty.

In her 10th season at Auburn, Young monitors performance and helps student-athletes build lifelong fitness habits.
