Seahawks add another coach to staff as offseason workout program begins

   

The Seahawks look to improve upon areas of strength... get it?!

Seahawks Begin Offseason Workout Program: 'You Could Just Feel The Energy  In The Building Today'

Hey, we have some Seattle Seahawks coaching staff news to bring you!

This is sort of a coaching staff hire but realistically it’s about strength and conditioning. Tim Ojeda, who has several years of prior working experience with Seattle’s longtime head S&C coach Ivan Lewis, has been hired as a strength and conditioning assistant.

Ojeda joins head strength and conditioning coach Ivan Lewis’ staff following a long career at USC during which he worked with multiple teams, including football, women’s volleyball and men’s and women’s water polo.

Prior to joining USC, Ojeda was the outside linebackers coach for his alma mater, Eastern New Mexico. Ojeda played linebacker at Eastern New Mexico from 2005-2006, graduating in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and physical education, later adding a master’s degree in sports administration.

Ojeda assisted with the USC football team from 2011 through 2018, which was Lewis’ last season at the school before he was hired by the Seahawks in 2019. Curiously enough, Ojeda was not involved with USC football after Lewis left, but he’s otherwise overseen a wide variety of other sports during that span as the Assistant Director of Sports Performance.

Today (April 22) is the first day of the Seahawks’ offseason workout program, so the team is getting this addition squared away in time for the first day of the program, in addition to this week’s NFL Draft.
