UConn adds Rehfeldt to men’s hoop staff

Storrs — UConn men's basketball coach Dan Hurley has announced that Mike Rehfeldt has joined the UConn Sports Performance Department as the director of sports performance for men's basketball. Rehfeldt will be responsible for all in-season and off-season aspects concerning strength and conditioning training for the men's basketball student-athletes.

Rehfeldt comes to UConn after spending the last eight years as the director of sports performance for men's basketball at the University of Cincinnati, which added to his extensive experience in strength and conditioning for basketball and football teams at the amateur, collegiate and professional level.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join coach Hurley and his staff at UConn,” Rehfeldt said. “I feel incredibly blessed and thankful to be part of a program that receives such tremendous support from the university and the community.”

Rehfeldt, 38, was hired at Cincinnati in 2012.
