New Hires

Hey, the UFL hired a director of Strength and Conditioning and a Director of Athletic Training. I have actually not heard of these guys, but then again why would I? I'm a fan primarily so you don't get much press on the Strength and Conditioning Coaches or Athletic Trainers.
Just for the record, the Strength and Conditioning guy is Jeff Friday (not to be confused with Jeff Saturday of the Indianapolis Colts). The Athletic Trainer is Aaron Miller.
Both have impressive pedrigees as former members of NFL clubs.
It just goes to show how the UFL is trying to be as successful as possible as an NFL alternative by getting some top notch talent.
It also shows, if you have a passion (like prevention of athletic injuries or helping people get in the best shape of their lives) then stick to it and there is no telling where you might go.
Most Universities have an Athletic Trainer program. They would tell you that the typical salary for an Athletic Trainer is $30,000-$60,000 based on experience.
I bet Aaron Miller makes a bit more than that.

Chase your dreams! Be the best you can be at your passion. Who knows where you will go?
