Expert coaching and precision equipment unite for peak performance.

In this collaboration with Coach Joe Connolly, Head Coach - Football Sports Performance for Arizona State University, we show how expert coaching and precision equipment come together to build resilience, power, and performance.

For Coach Connolly, Eleiko has been a constant. The barbell he got in the 1990s is still in use today, its steel and knurling carrying decades of lifts. That same trust extends to the barbells he selects for his athletes — tools built to last, crafted to perform. From Coach Connolly’s own training to today’s Sun Devils, the standard of excellence remains unchanged.
