Jon Uribe enters his 4th season as the UAB men’s basketball strength and conditioning coach.
Uribe oversees the entire strength and conditioning and nutrition program for the Blazers, while also working closely with the athletic training staff. In 2023, the Blazers set a program record with 29 wins, surpassing the previous year's total while making a run to the NIT Championship game. Uribe helped the Blazers capture a Conference USA tournament title and reach the NCAA tournament in 2022, including a then-school record 27 wins. Uribe played a pivotal role in the development and durability of the Blazers in both historic seasons, including current NBA players, Jordan "Jelly" Walker and Trey Jemison.
The Houston, Texas native came to Birmingham after spending three years at the University of Louisiana where he served as the Director of Athletic Performance for Basketball.
While at Louisiana, Jon helped the Cajuns to a 2018 Sun Belt Conference Championship and a school-record 27 wins.
Prior to working at Louisiana, Uribe served as an assistant strength coach for the University of Florida men's basketball team during the 2016-17 season. The Gators made the NCAA tournament and had a magical run to the Elite Eight. The season finished with 27 total wins and tied the school record for third most conference wins in school history.
Uribe got his start in strength and conditioning as an intern at the University of Arizona. He assisted in the training of various Olympic sports such as baseball, softball, volleyball, swimming/diving, soccer, and gymnastics.
A former basketball student-athlete at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin from 2012-14, Uribe earned a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from UTPB in 2014 and received his Master's degree in Sport Management from Florida in 2019.
Uribe is a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the NSCA, holds a level I USA Weightlifting certification, and is a certified fascial stretch therapist by the Stretch to Win Institute. Additionally, he is a certified strength and conditioning coach throughout the CSCCA (Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association).
