Long before Head Football Coach Al Golden was drawing the X's and O's of a football coach, he was in training for the Penn State Nittany Lions.... a notable and talented Tight End for Coach Joe Paterno
In this video, catch assistant strength coach Chip Morton busting Golden through an intense training session. The video has been edited down...but note that Morton gave Al Golden little, if any, time between exercises. A brutal, and difficult way to train. Those types of workouts require the athletes to have extreme mental and physical toughness. And these were the norm. These training characteristics of hard work, perserverance, and determination had tremendous carryover for Golden's career. He's placed the same demands on his Temple Owls Football squad..... as the Head Football coach. (Recently named Head Coach at Miami Hurricanes)
As for the assistant strength coach in the video.... Chip Morton is presently the Head Strength Coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.
