Alabama Football: Why the Most Iconic Brand in College Football is All-In on FlipSled

Written by Carver Hammond | Mar 26, 2026

Did you hear the news? The most historic college football program of all-time is now part of the FlipSled family. 

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide have invested in the best power development tool on the market.

They own several FlipSleds, directly contributing to their daily training and game preparation. This isn't on accident. 

Find a FlipSled testimonial from Alabama's Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach below! 

History of Great Linemen

Alabama football has consistently churned out NFL-ready offensive and defensive linemen. They invest in their trenches, and the FlipSled will only make them greater on the interior. 

They aren't looking to set the FlipSled off to the side. It's going to directly contribute to their constant aim to dominate both sides of the ball. 

The Crimson Tide are looking to generate greater strength and power in the way their linemen make contact, drive, and crush the opposition. The addition of the FlipSled to their training arsenal will only add to the amount of linemen they turn into pro-ready players. 

Growing Strength and Conditioning

Alabama isn't just using the FlipSled to build up their trenches, they know the FlipSled will help in developing the strength and conditioning of every other position group as well. 

As a piece of strength and conditioning equipment, it helps develop:

  • Lower-body power through repeated drive
  • Hip extension that carries through contact
  • Mental and physical toughness under fatigue

These combine to contribute directly to improved performance in late-game situations, somewhere Alabama has always thrived. 

Injury Prevention

Alabama isn't just getting the FlipSled to improve performance, they also know that the usage technique is much better for athletes bodies. 

By investing in FlipSleds, they are signaling a strong movement towards better protecting their players from severe injury. 

Unlike a traditional tire, this Football Sled allows them to use a pronated grip, lowering the risk of bicep injuries heavily. 

Championship Opportunity

There has never been more parity across the board in college football. Alabama is looking to capitalize on this opportunity to stack championships by gaining an advantage through the FlipSled. 

That level of physicality is built in training.

FlipSled supports that process by developing applied power — strength that shows up in real football situations when fatigue sets in.

Real-Game Situations

Alabama knows that in order to excel when game-time rolls around, you must put yourself in real-game situations during training. 

The FlipSled is intended to simulate these situations exactly. Whether that's creating leverage, driving a defender back, or even finishing with a pancake, that's what FlipSled is all about. 

The Crimson Tide know they can gain an in-game advantage with FlipSled.

Don't just take our word for it, hear from Alabama's Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach, Rick Danison! 

 

Level Up Your Program

Alabama's investment in FlipSled proves they see the opportunity to improve their program everyday. 

That’s not coincidence.
That's a program that knows what we do.
