Wichita State University announced the addition of Adam Ringler as Assistant Strength Coach. Ringler earned his M.S. in Kinesiology from Michigan State University in May and assisted with the strength and conditioning programs for 17 Olympic sports while in East Lansing.
Ringler most recently served as a graduate assistant at Michigan State, where he worked with multiple Big 10 Championship teams and All-Americans. He worked closely with the volleyball team and directed the wrestling team’s strength and conditioning plan, helping the squad place six NCAA qualifiers and one All-American. The National Strength and Conditioning Association certified Ringler in March of 2010 and he became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist in January of 2010. He is a member of the NSCA as well as American Red Cross CPR, AED.
At Wichita State, Ringler works primarily with the NCAA qualifying Women’s Volleyball team, Women’s Basketball, Baseball, Women’s Tennis and Golf, and Track and Field. He brings a level of expertise to the program’s strength and conditioning programs in the areas of Functional Training, Corrective Exercise, High Intensity Training, Olympic Lifts and Plyometrics.
Adam has amassed a diverse (and certainly odd) roster of experiences:

Born on the intersecting buckle of the Michigan and Indiana border, Adam grew up with a head full of wild and crazy thoughts. He’s since used them to excel at Michigan State University, earn a graduate degree in Kinesiology; complete a graduate assistantship within the Strength & Conditioning Department, and secure an associate strength and conditioning coaching position at Wichita State University.
Adam was raised by wolves and educated by television.
