In just his first year on the job, Texas State strength and conditioning coach Thad Livingston transitioned the Bobcats into a team which was both stronger and quicker. The Bobcats' improvement was evident a year later as the `Cats captured the program's first Southland Conference title and advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.
Livingston is now in his fourth season overseeing the Bobcat football squad's strength and conditioning program.
Livingston joined the Texas State staff after working the previous year at Arkansas where he was an assistant with the Razorback football program. Prior to his tenure at Arkansas, he had also served as strength and conditioning coach at both Louisiana-Monroe and Northwestern State.
A 1995 graduate of Central Methodist College in Fayette, Mo., Livingston was both a football and track and field athlete at the school. He earned All-Heart of America Conference honors twice in football and served as the team's captain his senior year. Academically, he was also named to the Dean's List and earned a Presidential Leadership Scholarship.
He is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association and is SCCC and USA Weightlifting certified.
