Hill brings 50 years of experience to Javelinas
The weight room for Javelina Athletics have a new groundskeeper by the name of Bert Hill.
Coach Hill arrived a week ago, and he is already fired up to make the Javelina football team and all athletic groups better for the future.
“I am excited. I believe everything that happens is a part of a bigger plan, and I’m excited to be here,” Hill said.
Coach hill has dedicated more than 50 years of his life to being a strength and conditioning coach across all levels of competition. Hill started out coaching for the Aggies from 1984 to 1987, winning multiple conference titles as part of the coaching staff.
After one year at Ohio State, he decided to take his talents to the pros where he became the strength and conditioning coach for the Detroit Lions, which at the time had legendary Barry Sanders as the running back.
In 2005, Hill under head coach Nick Saban, coached the Miami Dolphins until he decided to head back to the collegiate level to be the defensive line coach for Southern Methodist University.
While at SMU, from 2007 to 2013, Hill helped bring four consecutive bowl game appearances, and throughout his whole career as a coach, he has helped numerous players achieve their dream of becoming drafted NFL players.
His resume is a lengthy one that shows achievement after achievement and with more than 50 years of coaching experience, head coach Michael Salinas said Hill is the right man for the job.
Salinas’s expectations are simple, “to work hard and to play hard and if we do that, to win a lot of games.”
Hill will have a lot of time to work with the programs due to COVID-19 pushing back competition until the spring, but this gives the coach more time to get settled and apply his teachings to the young men and women in the Javelina athletic program.
Hill, like when he was at other programs, said he aims for nothing short of success and winning seasons for all sports and above all else, he is absolutely ready and is excited to be a Javelina.
