Bryan Woolson, a noted leader in the Baltimore strength and conditioning scene, joined the Loyola University Maryland men’s lacrosse team as its strength and conditioning coach in July 2023.
Bryan’s passion for challenging athletes to compete on field and in the weight room was felt through the process,” said Loyola Head Coach Charley Toomey. “We welcome Bryan and his family to the Loyola and the men’s lacrosse program.”
Woolson has been the regional director of MedStar Health Sports Performance in Harford County (Md.) since July 2014, and he served as the head strength and conditioning coach for the Johns Hopkins University women’s lacrosse team since 2013; prior to working with women’s lacrosse, he was served with the Blue Jays’ field hockey team from 2012-13.

He authored a chapter in the book “Building The Modern Defender” with Loyola alumna Janine Tucker ’89, the former head women’s lacrosse coach at Johns Hopkins (1994-2022).
