Rhea helped bring a more scientific approach to traditional strength and conditioning. At UA, he utilized the program’s brand-new Sports Science Center that opened in July of 2020. According to his bio on Alabama Athletics’ website, the data Rhea collected during practices and workouts helped to “determine exactly what recovery strategies each player needs to create the optimal environment for training and development on a personalized level.”

Head coach Nick Saban and the Tide players routinely praised Ballou and Rhea’s approach.
quote:
“When they came in and we interviewed them, there was no question that from a sports science standpoint and from a conditioning standpoint they were light-years in advance of what a lot of people have done in their programs for a long, long time,” said Saban in April of 2020. “And we’d actually brought some NFL people at the end of the season because we were wondering if there was something that we could do to improve performance and injury prevention because we seemed like we’d gotten a lot of guys hurt this past season.
