In the early stages of the introduction of the strength and conditioning coach in our colleges and universities, the majority felt strongly that the use of barbells and strength training devices would inhibit athleticism by bulking and stiffening the athlete. Women, in general had a strong fear of becoming overly muscular.
Educators worked to dispel those fears and strength and conditioning programs are now commonplace throughout athletics.
