Culture Warrior: Michael Gragg, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Harding University Bisons Football on Culture, Going Undefeated & Building Staff Around Ex-Players

Michael Gragg is Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at the Harding University Bisons Football program, a D2 team with multiple undefeated seasons in recent memory. Michael tells the Inside Shoulder podcast about the culture and recruitment behind the Bisons' formidable record, about his own transition from playing to the coaching staff within the same team, as well as touching on performance from the weight room, to speed and the kind of combative work needed to prepare athletes for contact. The Harding Bisons football program is a Division II member of the Great American Conference, located in Searcy, Arkansas. The Bisons football coaching staff is made up entirely of ex-Bisons players, including the Head Coach. The Bisons were NCAA Division II national champions in 2023 after a perfect season.Michael can be found on Instagram at @mdgragg50 and on X/Twitter at @MichaelGragg - go follow!
