University Of Mobile Opens Fitness Complex

The University of Mobile’s 4,000-ft2 on-campus J.L. Bedsole Sports Performance Center has opened. The strength and conditioning facility will be used by nearly 450 student athletes. It includes iPads with TeamBuildr online strength and conditioning software that allows athletes and coaches to program workouts and track progress. It was made possible by a substantial J.L. Bedsole Foundation grant and will host community workshops, camps and college preparation initiatives for underserved student athletes as part of a partnership with local schools (BBN #8). “This is a classroom and a place for athletes to train, prevent injury and increase athleticism,” said Strength and Conditioning Coach Taylor Lee Ledbetter. “We are thankful to the J.L. Bedsole Foundation and donors.”
