The Saskatchewan Roughriders are pleased to announce that they have formalized its relationship with Dan Farthing who has been named the team's Strength and Conditioning Coordinator.
"We are excited to have Dan officially back with the Riders," stated Assistant General Manager Jeremy O'Day. "Dan will be a huge asset in this increased role with the team and we believe his contributions will be reflected through on-field success."
Farthing, who is currently the Director of Sport Performance Training at Level 10 Fitness, has worked with the Rider players over the past numerous seasons through training sessions. This new partnership will ensure Rider players now have access to better designed facilities, consultative services in both training and nutrition as well as regularly scheduled supervised workouts.
"I am very excited about this new initiative, mostly for the players," said Farthing. "Had this level of support been available during my career, I know that I would have placed a huge value on it and seen it as a tremendous benefit that would give me the best opportunity to be the best player I could possibly be."
As a former player with the Riders, Farthing currently sits 3rd in all-time receptions and 9th in all-time receiving yardage and is a recent inductee into the Saskatchewan Roughrider Plaza of Honor. In addition to his experience as a professional player, Farthing brings his academic expertise as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association, a Certified Exercise Physiologist with The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, a Consultant for the Canadian Sport Centre and the Sport Medicine and Science Council of Saskatchewan, a Master of Kinesiology (U of R '96) and the University of Saskatchewan's Most Distinguished Graduate (1992). Farthing and his team of Sport Performance Training Specialists, Sport Nutritionists and Yoga Instructors from Level 10 Fitness are very excited to be part of the Roughrider Team.

Fantastic, a fine replacement for Fantuz. Right, Obama??
Leave Obama alone, you guys are jealous that he is smart and has real contacts in football world. Grow up and get a life as this forum is not for personal bashing that has been ongoing.
I wonder if the last Anonymous is Obama?
Sometimes the comments on this site are more enjoyable than the actual story....gota love it.
Excellent news. Welcome back, Dan!
So will the players use Dan's Level 10 Fitness facilities or the absolutely beautiful Riders gym at old Superstore on Dewdnewy and Albert ?
OH-BAH-MAH!! OH-BAH-MAH!!! OH-BAH-MAH!!!!
I would think both seeing many players are doing that already.
If Obama's "football contacts" also believe that Farthing and Fantuz were comparable talents as Obama does then his "football contacts" are useless.
You all sure worry about what Obama thinks....
The truth of the matter is as long as I've been watching CFL football, I don't recall to much of Dan Farthing. He played his career in an accomplish nothing era of Rider Football. Similar to Reno Hightower played by Kurt Russell in The Best of Times I'd equate it with, "I wasn't great I was good...good enough for around here."
The standout of that time was primarly Mike Saunders. I never knew if Farthing was on the roster because he played his way on, or if he had yet to play his way off. Similar to the Jason Clermont situation. Is he good or is he just there because he's Canadian. I have a hard time telling.
Truthfully I don't get myself to worked up over Canadian players. You'll get a Ray Elgard, Jeff Fairholm, Dave Sapunjis that are great, but overall the majority of them they're like fixtures you have that come with the house. You have to have them so they are what they are.
Thanks for spending so much time caring what I think. I take it as a compliment.
Obama
Yup Obama you sure know football.
" I don't recall much of Farthing" recalls Obama. The rest of us remember him as he currently sits 3rd in all-time receptions and 9th in all-time receiving yardage and is a recent inductee into the Saskatchewan Roughrider Plaza of Honor.
I recall Farthing catching anything thrown remotely close to him. But then I have been a Rider fan a long time.

OH-BAH-MAH!! OH-BAH-MAH!! OH-BAH-MAH!! OH-BAH-MAH!!!
No, you are mistaken Obama! We don't care what you think!
