The North Carolina women’s basketball program named Andrew Graber the new Head Strength and Conditioning Coach.
Graber has been a program member, working as support staff for the last two seasons. In a press release by Go Heels, UNC women’s basketball coach Courtney Banghart explained what it meant to have Graber transition into the head strength and conditioning coach.
“I’m proud of our program and the women in it that we were able to attract such a talented applicant pool,” Banghart said. “Sport science is the future of athletic performance training and Andrew is so versed in the software and the application of it. He has a national championship as a lead strength coach, and he has run the sport science programming for numerous sports teams. He will help with feedback – and feeding forward – as we develop our daily, weekly and monthly plans together to put our student-athletes in the best possible position for success.
A needle mover in so so many ways.
Beyond excited to get to the next level with this one 🤝✅👇

UNC went 22-11 last season, dominating at home with a 13-2 record in Carmichael Arena. The season ended in a heart-wrenching defeat to Ohio State, losing 71-69 in round two of the NCAA tournament.
This upcoming season is expected to be fruitful, especially with some of the games already announced, like the showdown on November 30th against South Carolina.
