From 2011-14, Kuhn worked as the associate director of strength & conditioning at Western Kentucky University, focused on the men’s basketball program. During his three-year tenure, the Hilltoppers twice made the NCAA Tournament, twice won 20-plus games and twice won the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

Kuhn got his start at Texas Tech University, where he worked from 2007-11. After beginning as a graduate assistant, he became an assistant strength & conditioning coach and then, in his final year, the head strength & conditioning coach.

A 2007 graduate of Angelo State University in his hometown of San Angelo, Texas, Kuhn earned a degree in kinesiology/exercise science. In 2010, he added a master’s degree in strength & conditioning from Texas Tech.
