Head Strength & Conditioning Coach Craig Swieton

Davidson Wildcats 22 Strength & Conditioning

The Wildcats’ head strength and conditioning coach, Craig Swieton, carries out the goal of Davidson’s strength and conditioning program — to increase the strength, power, speed, conditioning levels and flexibility of all student-athletes, helping reduce the risk of injury. Each team’s program, specifically designed by Swieton, aims to improve the sport energy utilization system and to increase the strength and power to the primary muscle groups used in that specific sport. In the fall of 2005, Davidson opened the Ernie Doe Weight Room, a state-of- the-art 5,000-square-foot facility dedicated to the needs of the college’s 21 varsi - ty athletic teams. The weight room includes 16 power racks and eight lifting platforms, as well as other cutting-edge lifting and conditioning equipment to train the whole body. Prior to his arrival at Davidson, Swieton served most recently as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Central Michigan, where he was a graduate assistant as well from 2003-05. During his career, he also helped coordinate the strength and conditioning program at Duquesne. Swieton started his career as an intern at Syracuse in the summer of 2003 working with the football team. The Frankfort, N.Y., native earned a bachelor’s degree in applied exercise science from Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., in 2003. He was a mem - ber of both the football and track and field teams. Swieton is a member of both the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA). Additionally, he is a level one certified club coach through USA Weightlighting. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in sport administration.

Charles W. Parker Wrestling Room # 25 2008-09 Academic Success Academic Excellence Davidson students explore the liberal arts curriculum in depth and enjoy close faculty collaboration. With 1,700 students, the college is large enough for a diverse and invigorating intellectual engagement, but small enough to foster individual experience and opportunity.

Davidson offers over 850 courses and supports 21 majors and 12 academic concentrations. Students may participate in pre-law, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry or dual-degree engineering programs or may design their own independent study classes or interdisciplinary majors.

Students may also apply for funds to support research and travel, and many opportunities exist for summer research positions with Davidson faculty.

Personal relationships with professors and classes limited to 20 students allow for the development of creative, collaborative relationships resulting in a unique academic experience. “The 450-acre campus has an air, or perhaps a whiff of the ‘50s, from its location on Main Street to The Soda Shop across the road. Davidson is where the basketball coach lives next-door to the English professor and both are down the street from the athletics director. Stories are told of money found on the ground tacked to a tree or a bulletin board for the owner to retrieve. ” Reid Cherner, USA Today Well-known Alumni National Roger Brown ‘78, Berkeley Music School president Patricia Cornwell ‘79, Internationally-known crime fiction writer Martin Eakes ‘76, head of Self-Help Credit Union Wyche Fowler ‘62, former U.S. Congressional representative and U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia Jim Haynes ‘79, Legal Counsel, Department of Defense Ken Krieg ‘83, Executive Secretary to Senior Executive Council, Department of Defense Paul Leonard ‘62, former chair of the board, Habitat for Humanity International Sheri Reynolds ‘89, novelist Dean Rusk ‘36, former U.S. Secretary of State Steve Salyer ‘72, former head of Corporation for Public Broadcasting; now head of Salzburg Institute Tony Snow ‘77, former White House Press Secretary John Spratt ‘64, U.S. Congressional representative from S.C.
