University of New Hampshire Strength and Conditioning Head Coach Paul Chapman announced that John Ciani was promoted to the position of associate head strength and conditioning coach. Chapman also announced that Tracy True has been hired as an assistant strength and conditioning coach.
Ciani, who is in his fifth year as part of UNH's strength and conditioning program, was the assistant strength and conditioning coach for four seasons for the Wildcats. He has been an integral part in guiding UNH student athletes to NCAA appearances in both men's and women's hockey, football, gymnastics, women's volleyball, women's lacrosse and skiing.
Ciani received his bachelor's degree in psychology from Long Beach State University and his master's degree in exercise science from the University of North Dakota.
He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and certified Level 1 coach through USA Weightlifting.
Ciani, a native of the San Diego, Calif. area, came from the University of North Dakota, where he worked under Chapman for one season as an assistant with the men's ice hockey, football, men's and women's swimming, men's basketball, and baseball teams. During his tenure at UND, the football team won the Division II national championship and the men and women's swimming teams placed second and fifth in the nation, respectively.
He began his career in strength and conditioning as a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Long Beach State in 2000, working with the perennial national power women's volleyball team and its All-America and national team level players including Misty May. He also worked with men's basketball and baseball while at Long Beach State.
