The 2018 season is the second for Ross Jirgl as a sports performance coach for the Cardinal football program.
Jirgl arrived at Stanford after one season at South Alabama, where he worked with the men’s basketball team.
Prior to arriving in Mobile, he was the head strength and conditioning coach at Wisconsin-Green Bay, where he had the opportunity to design and implement a performance program for seven Phoenix teams including men’s basketball.
For two years, Jirgl was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Indiana State, where he worked with the men’s basketball program. He also aided the Sycamore football team and was the strength and conditioning internship coordinator.
After earning his undergraduate degree in biomedical science from Minnesota State in 2013, Jirgl served internships at both Stanford and California.
While at Minnesota State, Jirgl was a four-year letterwinner for the Maverick football team, playing linebacker and helping the program to a pair of conference titles. As a senior, he helped the Mavericks advance to the semifinals of NCAA Division II and a 13-1 finish. The Mavericks posted a 38-11 overall mark -- including a 33-9 record in conference play -- during his career. Twice named to the academic all-conference team, Jirgl was an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District V second team selection as a sophomore.
Jirgl is certified by both the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA).
