One key to the NCAA Championship football team is to be the strongest player on the field. UW Husky’s Strength Coach Tim Socha is the Huskies’ secret weapon
The University of Washington Husky recruiting class of 2017 is a solid class of young men who share both passion and dreams of starring in football. But young men growing from their late teens to early twenties are in need of training and development-not only with their football skills, but with their rapidly growing and maturing physiques.
To realize that dream, and satisfy that passion, each has aligned himself with the school that did the best job of “selling” their program. If you have ever gone to buy a new car, you know that you can be sold something you didn’t really want by a persuasive salesman. If you are vigilant, you understand what you want, why you want it, and generally end up with just that.
Young men who sign Letters of Intent need to be equally vigilant. Reseach, discuss, but understand that perspective can skew. A USC graduate will tout USC. A UW graduate will tout UW.
But there are independent sources as well. Objective assessments that can help young men make the difficult decision. Position coaches, success of the program, stability of the coaching staff, all combine to add certainty to uncertainty.
But to a young man, it comes down to the ultimate answer: Will I emerge from this university fully prepared to take on the next level? At UW, the answer is a resounding YES! The teams rapid ascension in the ranks of the NCAA are a testimony to the fine coaches assembled by head coach Chris Petersen.
Strength and Conditioning Key
But perhaps the most undervalued of the bunch is the the collegiate strength and conditioning coach. He is vastly effective in helping young men fill out their form, adding muscle, agility, and stamina to a body that is entering adulthood. And there is none better than Tim Socha, UW’s Strength and Conditioning coach.

Nobody expects a finished product to enter a college football program. But the University of Washington recruiting class of 2017 is perhaps just a little unique. You see, the team has entered the upper echelons of the NCAA by making it to the playoffs. As such, the team will be competing with the best of NCAA football.
Tim Socha Do Your Stuff
To do that on a consistent basis, the Huskies must remain atop the NCAA in terms of strength, agility, and stamina. That is Tim Socha’s goal, and here are the new players he now has to work with:

While this group may not be the highest rated class in the nation, nor the biggest, do not underestimate this class at all. Elijah Qualls joined the University of Washington Huskies as a 4-star defensive tackle at 6-foot-2 and 265 pounds in 2013. He has bulked up to 321 pounds, and is one of the nations top nose tackle prospects entering the 2017 NFL Draft.
