Runnin' Ref: Strength and Condition Content made to keep you in shape
Why strength and Conditioning
With over a decade of experience coaching strength & conditioning at some of the top athletic programs in the country, Austin Ardrey has worked with athletes across every level—from walk-ons to future pros. But through it all, he saw one thing missing: training made just for referees.
So he built Runnin’ Ref—the only fitness program designed specifically for sports officials.
Austin knows the grind firsthand: long travel, quick turnarounds, high-pressure games, and zero room for injury. That’s why his program helps refs:
- Prevent those nagging injuries that derail a season
- Build real, game-ready endurance and power
- Increase speed, agility, and strength without wasted time
- Show up confident, sharp, and looking the part
Whether you’re climbing the ladder to varsity, college, or pro-level games, Austin’s mission is clear: help you become the official evaluators trust and remember.
Because if the players train like pros, so should you.
