Here’s a nice feature from Tom Murphy on Arkansas strength and conditioning coach Blaine Kinsley, who’s helped Arkansas remain healthy and hold on to its power throughout a long season:
Blaine is an interesting guy. I’ve enjoyed talking with him off and on, especially about his time in NASCAR. He taught me a lot about the pit crews that I did not know beforehand. The most interesting thing to me is that NASCAR teams look for former athletes to fill certain roles. He said a former tight end is ideal for the jack man, for instance, because they are typically strong and nimble.
