Dec 16, 2025Texas Tech SPC evolves into Big 12’s premier training hub
The Texas Tech Sports Performance Center (SPC) has evolved into one of the Big 12’s premier training hubs, and returning strength coach Aaron Uzzell has a front-row seat to its impact.
Now directly connected to the indoor track and football practice turf, the facility offers 24 Power Lift racks with EliteForm technology, spacious turf zones, and a layout built for simultaneous team training. The SPC facility also boasts a 200-meter banked track, a refueling nutrition station, indoor artificial turf field, and a sports medicine and hydrotherapy space in addition to the traditional weight room.
Uzzell praises the recently upgraded Regupol flooring in the weight room for its comfort and durability — critical for coaches and athletes logging long hours. High-tech tools such as force decks, NordBord testing, Catapult GPS, and Data Viz analytics give coaches real-time feedback to track performance and reduce injury risk. Uzzell credits vendors like Power Lift, Iron Grip, and Regupol flooring for a layout that keeps multiple teams training at once without congestion.
Housing various sports like soccer, volleyball, baseball, and track & field, the SPC serves as the hub of a four–weight room campus. For Uzzell, it’s more than a showpiece: “Athletes need a place they want to train. When you match top-tier equipment with smart use of technology, you raise performance across every sport.”
Texas Tech’s investment, he added, makes the SPC “an elite center” and a key driver in preparing Red Raiders for the next level.
