There’s a tweet making the rounds of Baylor Football’s Director of Athletic Performance aka ‘Strength and Conditioning Coach’ Corey Campbell. You’d think that people wouldn’t be surprised to learn that a man whose literal job is to ensure the players reach peak performance is also jacked as hell himself but the surprise is genuine.
Corey played four seasons for the Georgia Bulldogs as a Fullback and on Special Teams (2010-2013) which is just another reason people shouldn’t be floored to learn the herculean man looks like he was created in a laboratory. But here we are. One question a lot of people have, myself included, is why the shit is he wearing both an Apple Watch and a Whoop. I know the Whoop has more functionality than a lot of other fitness trackers on the market but my dude, why?
First up. Here’s the man who was Baylor Football‘s athletics performance coach from 2017-2019 and who was recently promoted to Director of Athletic Performance – Football in January 2020. It’s okay if seeing this makes you feel small because man is an absolute unit.

The reactions are spot-on:

Is Corey Campbell on his way to dead lift or on his way from dead lifting? The answer is yes!

more like "i was having trouble fitness arm in the sleeve so it's now a sleeveless hoodie"

all S&C coaches should have a brand instead of a tat on one arm

For what it’s worth, those brands are from the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and not some marking left in the laboratory where he was forged out of the same Adamantium metal that Wolverine’s bones are made from.
People, myself included, are also quite surprised by his choice of wearing two fitness watches. It’s 2020, can’t we find one that’ll do the trick?

Don’t hate on the @whoop they are amazing. Hope to get one!

Corey Campbell need 2 fit bits to show the time when his muscles in different time zones.

The reason is obvious. @CoachCampbell46 has two hearts to pump all that blood through his huge, coursing veins. 💛💚 #Science
Also, I think this is probably the look @Nike envisioned when they created the Smock. #JustSaying pic.twitter.com/oJlnYA9siR

We’ve spent several college football seasons talking about the mustache on Oregon’s Strength and Conditioning Coach so it’s nice to shift the focus a little bit. It remains to be seen if this man’s going sleeveless on the sidelines next season but it’ll be fucking great if he does.
You can find him on Twitter at @CoachCampbell46 if you’re interested in doing so. Baylor finished the 2019 College Football season ranked 13rd in the AP Top 25 and 12th in the Coaches Poll.
