Hello parents and students, my name is Cru Birdyshaw and this will be my first year with the Villa Rica family. Prior to coming here to Villa Rica I served two years as a strength and conditioning student coach at The University of Tennessee at Martin, where I earned my bachelors in exercise science, working with football, baseball, and equestrian. Following my time at Tennessee Martin, I was a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Jacksonville State University where I headed the training for baseball and was an assistant with the football program, handling offensive and defensive linemen, specialist, quarterbacks, and solely in charge of injured athlete rehabilitation and development. I look forward to providing students with a developmental strength and conditioning program aimed to not just physically develop them, but to also educate them on the science of physical development.
