Joining new head coach K.C. Keeler’s initial Temple Football staff is Kevin Schadt as head of strength & conditioning. This marks the third time the two have been paired together. Schadt and Keeler worked together at Delaware (2007-08) and Sam Houston (2024).
 
“Kevin took our program to the next level at Sam Houston,” said Keeler. “He’s a proven strength coach who has nearly two decades of experience. Just like at SHSU, he will make an immediate impact on our student-athletes' performance at Temple.”
 
Schadt joined SHSU after spending six seasons as UTEP's director of strength and conditioning under head coach Dana Dimel. During that time, Schadt helped develop future NFL draft choices Tyrice Knight (LB, Seattle) Elijah Klein (OL, Tampa Bay), and Jacob Cowing (WR, San Francisco).
 
Prior to UTEP, Schadt spent six seasons (2012-17) at Kansas State as an assistant strength and conditioning coach where he worked with Dimel while he was the offensive coordinator for the Wildcats. While there, 10 K-State players were drafted to the National Football League under his watch. Nine Wildcats were named All-American (first or second team) during Schadt's time with the program. 
 
Before heading to KSU, Schadt spent three years (2009-11) with the Army West Point football program as an assistant strength and conditioning coach. 
 
He graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in applied nutrition and strength and conditioning in 2007. He was hired as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Delaware in June of 2007. 
 
Schadt earned his master's degree in health, human performance, and recreation from Pittsburg State in 2017. He had a publication, a Review of Elite Form Technology, in the Oct. 1, 2017 Kansas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (KAHPERD) Journal. 
 
He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach with Distinction (RSCC*D), both with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). He's also a Level One Sports Performance Coach with USA Weightlifting.
