Celebrating a Decade of Success with Strength and Conditioning Coach Travis Crittenden 


In the world of professional football, strength and conditioning coaches are a crucial part of a team's success. Over the past decade, no coach has been more successful than Kansas City Chiefs' Strength and Conditioning Coach, Travis Crittenden. From his humble beginnings working in the equipment business, Travis quickly rose to prominence as he took the helm of the Chiefs' strength and conditioning program in 2013. 


Since then, under Travis's guidance, the Chiefs have experienced an unprecedented level of success - recording multiple Pro Bowl appearances and AFC Conference Championships, culminating in a decisive Super Bowl LIV victory. 


But Travis's success is not limited to the NFL. Over the years, he has also helped prepare hundreds of athletes for the NFL, MLB, and NBA drafts, as well as assisted numerous veteran players in their off season training for upcoming seasons. Additionally, in the past 2 years, his invaluable guidance has been extended to various teams and international organizations across all levels of competitive athletics, significantly enhancing their athletic potential.


It's no wonder that Travis is so highly regarded and respected in the strength and conditioning community.

His commitment to athlete empowerment, dedication to excellence, and passion for helping others succeed are truly inspiring.

Jacob Green

Advisor – Wealth Management

Celebrating Jacob Green's Induction into the Seattle Seahawks Ring of Honor


On September 3, 1995, history was made when defensive player Jacob Green became the second member to be inducted into the Seattle Seahawks' Ring of Honor. During his 11-year tenure as a left defensive end (1980-91), Jacob revolutionized the pass-rushing game, with his performance putting him amongst the likes of Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White in terms of most productive sack artists during 1982-91. 


In 1983, Green scored a single-game Seahawks record 3.5 sacks against the Los Angeles Raiders. His impressive performance was further celebrated when he registered the longest interception return for that NFL season at 73 yards - a touchdown at Cleveland. 


The Seahawks' Ring of Honor is an integral part of the team's history and legacy, preserving the memories of those who have left a lasting impact on the Seattle Seahawks organization. Jacob Green's induction was not only a testament to his immense talent but also a reminder that the past never truly leaves us - it is always there for us to learn from and admire. 


Jacob Green's career with the Seahawks was full of highlights. In 1986, he set a Seattle record with 4.0 sacks against the New York Giants and recorded 2.5 sacks during a Wild Card game against the Los Angeles Raiders - a then-playoff record. He is also scattered all over the Seahawks' record book having played in the fifth-most games.
