Les Ebert is in his fourth season as Jacksonville's assistant strength and conditioning coach. Ebert is responsible for assisting strength and conditioning coach Mark Asanovich in all areas of the club's strength and conditioning program, which emphasizes individual supervision of player workouts.
Ebert, 34, spent the 2003 season as a part-time assistant strength and conditioning coach in Jacksonville. Prior to joining the Jaguars, Ebert spent three seasons, from 1999 to 2001, as the assistant strength and conditioning coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In his three seasons in Tampa Bay, Ebert helped establish arguably one of the fittest squads in the NFL. During his three-year span, the Buccaneers sent 21 players to the Pro Bowl including Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, John Lynch and Mike Alstott, who made three consecutive trips each. Each year the team got stronger as the year progressed. In the final nine games of the regular season from 1999 to 2001 the teams’ record was 8-1, 7-2, and 6-3. Those finishes led to three consecutive playoff appearances.
Born October 1, 1972 in Brainerd, Minn., Ebert was strength and conditioning coach at Blaine (Minn.) High School in 1998. In 1997, Ebert served as the Buccaneers’ season long strength and conditioning intern. Ebert earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from the University of Minnesota-Duluth and a master's degree in physical education from Emporia State University (Kan.). Ebert is a certified member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
