ANNVILLE, Pa. – A year ago, Lebanon Valley was in a unique position. Despite housing 24 athletic programs comprised of more than 500 student-athletes, the College had yet to hire a full-time strength and conditioning coach.

Enter Jared Hatz.

He joined LVC in September as the school's first strength and conditioning coach, entering Lebanon Valley with nearly five years' experience in the field. Hatz recently sat down to discuss his love of human performance, the implementation of his program, his relationship with LVC student-athletes and coaches, the evolution of the school's weight room, and his goals for the strength and conditioning program moving forward.
