The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have officially hired an associate director of strength and conditioning who most recently worked with elite high school athletes.
The hire was announced today during Brian Kelly’s news conference.
Dave Ballou was the physical conditioning coach at IMG Academy, which has enough 2017 talent to make a top 5 college class if its elite athletes all committed to a single institution.
The Bradenton, Fla. high school was the last stop for Tony Jones Jr., Spencer Perry and Robert Hainsey before they committed to the Irish.
