Harmer was the Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at Minnesota State (Mankato) for several sports including wrestling.

As a fan and supporter of Iowa Wrestling I like seeing this. Strength training has changed so much over the last ten years and a dramatic change over the last 20-30 years. There are a lot of new methods being used that are a contributing factor for athletes that seem to be getting better and at a younger age in sports including wrestling across the country.
Welcome aboard Alex Harmer.
It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.
Go Hawks!
