Dan Ross, Adam Soldati and J Agnew contribute much of Purdue’s success to the strides made while training. The coaching staff takes complete advantage of the Boilermaker Aquatic Center, whether the team is working in the pool, lifting in the weight room or doing dryland workouts on the mezzanine level. The ability to train in so many different ways in the same building enhances the natural abilities of all three coaches and allows them to continually bring out the best in the Boilermakers.
