History

Parker was born on February 1, 1947, in Shaw, Mississippi. He began lifting weights as a 100 pound high school freshman. Parker played high school football and threw the discus for Shaw High School until his graduation in 1964.[2] He majored in history at Ole Miss (where he did not play any sports),[3] then taught and coached linebackers at Indianola Academy.[2]

Parker served as strength and conditioning coach at the University of South Carolina, Indiana University, LSU, and Ole Miss.[2]

In 1984 he joined the New York Giants, winning Super Bowls in 1986 and 1990. He coached in a third Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 1997, and a fourth with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003. He finished his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers from 2005 to 2008.[2]

In 1994 the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society named him the NFL's top strength and conditioning coach.[2]

In 1988 Parker, along with Al Miller, worked with Soviet defector Grigori Goldstein to incorporate Soviet-style periodization into their methods. They utilized this info in their work, and after their retirement from coaching eventually coauthored The System: Soviet Periodization Adapted For the American Strength Coach in 2018, along with Rob Panariello.[4]
