Tommy Heffernan: Strength Coach

General Sports Blog sucks. Sorry for the trackback spam. Sorry for the disclaimer. I think I have to post that every time I link to the Warrior Beat. Anyway!
Congratulations to Tommy Heffernan, who is now the Warriors' lead strength coach.

Tommy Heffernan will be in charge of the offseason conditioning program for football, as well as serve as the Warriors' lead strength coach. As the strength coach, he was in charge of overseeing the athletic department's overall strength and conditioning programs.

"I like that Tommy is great with the players," UH head coach Greg McMackin said. "He's very organized, and detailed. He's very computer literate. He is always going to clinics and camps to improve his knowledge. He's an excellent teacher. He's a tireless worker. I'm really excited about having Tommy as our strength coach."

Mel deLaura, who had served as the Warriors' lead strength coach for 10 years, will remain on the UH weight-room staff. He will focus on working with the women's teams.

And a fond farewell to Liz Chun!

We're sorry to hear about Liz Chun's announced departure from Hawaii News Now.
