Dick Harmon: BYU football coach Kalani Sitake explains emphasis on player safety, health heading summer

Silas Walker, Deseret News

PROVO — All four of Kalani Sitake’s spring football experiences as BYU’s football coach have been different. And this season was no exception.

Since BYU hired him to replace Bronco Mendenhall as head coach, he’s tried to create physical spring camps, and he’s hit the mark most times. But he’s learned that every team is different, and what might work during one spring may not work during another.

This spring, and heading into the opener against Utah this fall, Sitake is paying close attention to injuries and taking an approach to keep players healthy.
