Meet Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Curtis

After spending the last six years with the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies, Mike Curtis hoped there would be a chance to head back to the collegiate ranks where he began his career. The NBA had been proven to be a wonderful working environment and great training ground working for so many of the top athletes in the world.

As Curtis continued to build a reputation as one of the up-and-coming strength and conditioning coaches in the league, he began to have an itch to get back to a college setting. Following his playing days at the University of Virginia, he got involved in strength and conditioning and finished his bachelor’s degree in Sports Medicine from Virginia in 1998. He followed that up by earning his master’s in Exercise Physiology in 2000 before moving on to Dayton and then South Carolina serving as a strength and conditioning coach.
