The Cats have a new basketball trainer, Eric Fry, who comes from the University of Colorado. While last year’s hire of Scott Holsopple as the S&C coach had the masses dancing, this one was a bit under the radar, because….well, most dont even know who the old trainer was. Eric worked with the Colorado basketball team, which means he helped make David Harrison big and strong. Plus he also worked for an Alaskan baseball team…..which is odd and wonderful. Here is the press release (and since I found no picture of Eric, this is a picture of Eric Fry who produces alcohol):
Eric Fry, who has spent the last three year at the University of Colorado, was named Kentucky men’s basketball athletic trainer Friday.
“Growing up in Indiana, I realize the importance of basketball to the University of Kentucky and the state of Kentucky and I look forward to being a part of it,” Frye said. “This is the best college basketball job in the country and I’m excited to be a part of the family as well as the department of sports medicine.”
Fry was an assistant athletic trainer for three years with the Colorado men’s basketball team. Prior to his time at Colorado, Fry spent two years at the University of Denver serving as the trainer for the volleyball, men’s lacrosse, and men’s and women’s ski teams.
A graduate assistant athletic trainer for the University of Wisconsin before joining the Pioneer athletic training staff, Fry worked primarily with the Badger men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams along with the men’s and women’s soccer teams. He also traveled to Europe with the women’s soccer team just before moving to Denver in 2002.
Fry completed his undergraduate studies at Purdue University in 2000 and received a bachelor’s degree in athletic training followed by earning a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration in May of 2002. While at Purdue he worked as a student athletic trainer with the football, baseball, and basketball teams. During his time there he had the opportunity to work as an intern athletic trainer with the Kenai Peninsula Oilers, a summer baseball team located in Kenai, Alaska.
Fry is a certified member of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association.

Thought Holsopple was a strenght couch not a trainer.

That’s my Dad !!!!!

yeah, Holsopple was the strength and conditioning coach, and he’s already been replaced by Todd Forcier. This Eric Fry fellow is replacing David Kindy, the former athletic trainer for men’s basketball

What are you talking about, Matt? This guy is a trainer. You are talking about our S@C coach. Todd Forcier is our new S@C coach.
August 31st, 2007 at 1:44 pm
I understand that and fixed the link to make that clear
August 31st, 2007 at 1:56 pm
What’s the difference between the S&C coach and the trainer?

Health and fitness is important to me, kinda. My presidential jogs were legendary. Often culminating into a stop at Mickey D’s, or at an intern’s summer quarters. I recall a planned work out with Bill Keightly while campaigning in the Bluegrass in 1996. We started atop a winding hill in Anderson Co. The air was crisp and Bill looked spry with his Denim-2-Destiny customized overalls and low cut Chuck Taylor’s. The Secret Service set out a double time pace. Half way down the hill Keightly knelt by a tree and coughed the most hiddeous gob of flem known to man. His sweaty jowls were flustered and rosy. 120yds in the jog was over. With a wink of his eye, and a meaty palm over his chest, he told me “Son, take me over yonder to Austin Nicholls place. We motorcaded to a Bourbon distillery 2 miles away. Amazingly, Bill darted out of the limo and traversed some 200yds, hurdling crates, and employees, to a vat of single barrel Wild Turkey. The human body is a wonderous thing.

10. Get a job u dumbass.
August 31st, 2007 at 2:50 pm
I like clinton’s memoirs…a lot more than a flock of seagulls.
August 31st, 2007 at 2:52 pm
12. Shows your lack of intelligence “frito” lmao.
August 31st, 2007 at 3:26 pm
Frito’s are swell with chili.
And cheese.
August 31st, 2007 at 4:00 pm
I think I need a job myself so I can leave the clever Mr. Clinton’s Memoirs alone to entertain us more…;)

I don’t think Matt was saying this guy is the new S&C coach, he’s saying when Holsopple was hired, people knew who he was and in a boring summer it was big news. He had a story to him and there were details about his strength training programs and we all dreamed of what he would be able to do with our team.
This guy, on the other hand, no one knows anything about and he’s a trainer. Not a lot you can get excited about, other than the fact that he’s a new face on the staff.
Of course, just to rag on Matt a little… it is poorly worded and thus confusing.
August 31st, 2007 at 4:28 pm
He is about as clever as a baked bean fart.

I like all sorts of Frito-Lays. Don’t hate the player, if you got no game. Y’all stay tuned.

…and one more thing triscadecca(look that up if you didn’t graduate from Transy). “A flock of seagulls” reminds me of my boy Kenneth Starr. A hater of the worst ilk. Hell son, sounds to me like you need to lighten up and release your sexual repression. If you spent half the energy writing whitty, entertaining, or even informative posts you wouldn’t rub us all the wrong way like Hillary’s thighs. Get your smack up, or get smacked the f_ck up. That goes double for “anonymous”. I digress, and back to my vacation. I’m Bubba, and I approve this message!

Conservatives are all closet homosexuals. Come on CM, you know you want Bubba’s body. That’s why you spend so much time obsessing over him.

Would be helpful if the original post more clearly defined the roles of athletic trainer versus strength and conditioning coach. A statement or two in there is a bit confusing.

Thanks. What can I say? I have a Presidential body and a Democratic agenda when it comes to the ladies. Tell you what, let’s discuss my approval rating over a shot or 8 of straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey.

I wish the Eric Fry in the photo were an athletic trainer.
Ramel: “I need to build up my upper body so I can finish stronger on drives while getting fouled.”
Bearded Liquor Man: “Ramel, what you need to do to build up your upper body is slather your lungs with Wild Turkey, Captain Morgan and Tanqueray.”
