Dwain Bradshaw, who spent one season in Honolulu as the Director of Athletic Performance, has changed his Twitter bio to reflect his new position in the Pac-12 Conference: “Washington State University Head Strength and Conditioning Coach.”

Bradshaw not only has experience on the West Coast, but also in the Pac-12, as a former strength and conditioning coach at USC in 2017 under Clay Helton, when the Trojans won the Pac-12 championship and went to the Cotton Bowl. The Chino Hills, California, native also played safety/linebacker at Arizona State and worked as a sports performance intern in Tempe.

According to Bradshaw’s Hawaii bio, the coach utilizes a performance system that “consists of movement, strength/power, and mental conditioning – all of which are collectively integrated for the enhancement of each position group and athlete individually.

Prior to taking a job on Rolovich’s staff in the spring of 2019, Bradshaw worked for ex-Mike Leach pupil Kliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech, where his title was “Director of Multi-directional Movement.” Bradshaw also specialized in the traning of the Red Raider defensive backs.

Bradshaw has extensive experience working with defensive backs, having spent three years (2015-17) with them at Auburn as a graduate assistant. He also assisted in the indoctrination of incoming freshman Stage-0 athletes at Auburn and helped athletic trainers in athlete reconditioning.
