RELATED: Who is Fred Hale? What we know about Notre Dame’s interim strength coach
After the sudden resignation of director of sports performances Matt Balis, Notre Dame tabbed associate director of football strength and conditioning Fred Hale as replacement, at least for now.
“For the time being, Fred Hale will lead our strength and conditioning program,” Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said in a press release. “We have an innovative sports performance team who collaborated with Coach Balis and me in designing our program and Fred will continue to implement that plan.”
That begs the question: who is Fred Hale? Here’s what we know about a now-vital member of Notre Dame’s coaching staff.
Hale joined the strength and conditioning staff at Eastern Michigan in January 2014, and he worked there until taking a job with Notre Dame in February 2021. He started as an assistant strength and conditioning coach before becoming a co-director of sports performance in 2016.
