The New York Giants have once again reached into the Baltimore Ravens’ coaching staff, with head coach John Harbaugh bringing former Ravens’ strength and conditioning coach Ron Shrift to New Jersey.
Shrift was with the Ravens for nine seasons. Here is Shrift’s bio from the Ravens’ website:
RON SHRIFT is in his ninth NFL season, spending each one in Baltimore, and currently serves as the team’s strength & conditioning coach. In his role, Shrift helps lead all sports science, speed, strength training
and recovery initiatives, working closely with strength & conditioning coordinator Scott Elliott to oversee a program that helps prepare players for the rigors of each NFL season. He originally joined the Ravens after spending several years working at Power Train Sports, a sports performance and fitness training facility in Pennsylvania. Shrift attended Juniata (PA) College, where he was the captain of the football team and a strength & conditioning All-American before assisting in the strength & conditioning program. Once earning his master’s degree in recreation and sport management from Florida International University, where he also served as a graduate assistant strength & conditioning coach, Shrift interned at Penn State University and joined North Carolina A&T as an assistant strength & conditioning coach. He also holds a master’s degree in exercise science, performance enhancement and injury prevention from California University of Pennsylvania. A registered strength & conditioning coach and specialist, Shrift’s credentials include certifications in speed and agility, as well as pre-habilitation and recovery.
The Ravens, though, will retain strength and conditioning coordinator Scott Elliott and assistant strength and conditioning coach Scott Hartman.
