WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point Football head coach Jeff Monken has announced Tanner Anderson as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach.
Anderson brings nearly a decade of collegiate performance coaching experience and will assist head strength coach Conor Hughes and his staff in the Black Knights' football strength and conditioning efforts.

In these positions, he directed programming for several sports, contributed to football player development, and helped implement performance technology such as STAT Sports GPS tracking.
His coaching journey also includes internships with football at Virginia Tech and Olympic sports at the University of South Dakota, where he gained early experience designing workouts, teaching technique, and supporting athletes through data-driven performance strategies.
