Panthers hire strength coach

Joe Kenn is always in the conversation when the country’s top strength and conditioning coaches are mentioned. I truly appreciate Joe’s disclaimer that he is not an Olympic Weightlifter because I always begin my clinics by stating “I am NOT a Strength Coach. I am a Weightlifting Coach. My goal is to produce competitive Olympic Weightlifters.”

Joe’s book, Push, Jump, Punch, shows Joe’s extensive experience, as a top flight strength coach, teaching the Power Clean to athletes of various sports with a wide range of skills and abilities. Joe has always been attentive to detail and his book shows that. The book is set up in such a way that the reader can, actually, trouble shoot a particular technique concern, once again showing Joe’s experience in teaching the Power Clean over his 20 year career.

Push, Jump, Punch will be a great addition to anyone’s library as a resource in learning, teaching or correcting flaws in the Power Clean.

He looks like he could throw Davidson.

From his Louisville Bio (link)

Kenn was named the College Strength and Conditioning Professional of the Year in 2002 and has been a finalist for the award four times during his career. He also earned conference recognition in 1998 (Big West Conference) and again in 2000 (Mountain West Conference).

Kenn has coached numerous NFL players including; former NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowler, Terrell Suggs (Baltimore Ravens, ASU), former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, Mike Anderson (Baltimore Ravens, Utah), 2 Time Pro Bowler Steve Smith (Carolina Panthers, Utah), and recent Super Bowl Champion Kimo Von Oelhoffen (New York Jets, Boise State).

Kenn earned his Bachelor of Science degree in health and sports science from Wake Forest in 1988 and his strength and conditioning specialist certification in 1990. He then earned his Master of Arts degree in curriculum and instruction from Boise State in 1993.

As a football player at Wake Forest, Kenn was a two-year letterman, named a NSCA All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete award winner as well as Wake Forest's Weightlifter of the Year and the Bill George Award as Linemen of the Year.

He coached the guy that broke Carson Palmer.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
