Alabama’s new Strength and Condition coach, also known as the Director of Performance, David Ballou didn’t have a lot of time on campus before the coronavirus struck, but he’s finding creative ways to get in front of fans.
On Tuesday, the Alabama football team’s official Twitter account posted a video of Ballou giving people advice on a good workout routine, which included using a deck of cards to do push ups.

Yes, it’s true that what Ballou is suggesting isn’t revolutionary stuff, but it’s still a nice message to share for those who had never heard of trying that sort of workout.
More importantly, this is a way for the former Indiana alum to allow Crimson Tide fans to become more familiar with him, especially considering how COVID-19 has limited the ways you can interact.
Whenever football activities are able to resume, there’s no doubt that Ballou and fellow new hire Matt Rhea will both be integral parts of Alabama’s strength and conditioning program.
