When Old Dominion football coach Bobby Wilder began his search to replace his strength training staff last November, he had one primary goal.
“I was looking for a culture change,” he said. “I was looking for someone who would change the culture so that our players would want to be in the weight room, and that they would want to be there even when they weren’t required to be.”
He got all that he was looking for when he hired Dwight Galt IV away from Penn State.
Wilder also hired Aaron Rittgers from Penn State to become Galt’s assistant, and they share the same upbeat and positive philosophy
Galt and Rittgers lead players to work hard not by getting down on them, but lifting them up.
