Long before kickoff, the work begins in the weight room.
The latest episode of Acre & Iron pulls back the curtain on the TCU Football Strength & Performance Staff, the group responsible for preparing Horned Frog players physically and mentally for the demands of a college football season. Their mission is straightforward: build a tougher, stronger, more disciplined team ready to represent TCU football.
The episode highlights the coaches and trainers working behind the scenes to develop what the program calls its “Carter Boys,” shaping athletes through early mornings, intense workouts, and a culture built on accountability.
Acre & Iron and Carter Boys provide an all-access look inside the Horned Frogs program, offering fans behind-the-scenes views of team meetings, practices, locker-room moments, travel, and player stories.
