ATLANTA-Ben Pollard, who possesses more than 20 years of experience working with major college programs, has been named Assistant Director of Athletics for Speed, Strength and Conditioning for Georgia State Athletics, Director of Athletics Cheryl L. Levick announced.

In this newly created position, Pollard will work directly with the Panther football program while overseeing strength and conditioning for all 18 sports.

"An outstanding strength and conditioning program is absolutely essential to the success of Georgia State athletics," said Levick.

Before coming to Georgia State, he served as head strength and conditioning coach at Texas State University. That followed a one-year stint at Vandegrift High School in Austin, Texas.

Pollard is certified as a Master Strength Coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA). He also holds certification from the United States Weightlifting Federation (USWF) and as a National Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA).
