Note: This episode is from a live recording of UNRACKED, having aired on December 18th.

Jim Krumpos, Associate Athletic Director of Sports Performance at the University of Arizona, joins Cooper Napoli to unpack long-term athletic development in the collegiate setting.

In this episode, he breaks down:

• How long-term athletic development is structured at the collegiate level—and why it still matters in today’s evolving NCAA landscape
• Where LTAD shows up across Division I programs, from exercise selection to year-round training systems
• The adjustments he makes as roster turnover, transfer rules, and performance demands continue to shift
• How building strong, physical athletes and a culture of excellence creates sustainable, championship-level programs
• Real collegiate program templates and training frameworks he uses—shared directly inside Bridge

Jim brings over 26 years of experience to the conversation, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how elite collegiate programs are built, adapted, and sustained over time.

This is long-term athletic development from someone who lives it every day.
