Dustin Woods enters his fourth NFL season and third season with the Los Angeles Rams as an assistant strength and conditioning coach in 2020.
Woods joins the Rams after his second stint as the Chinese Olympic Skating Association's Short Track Head Strength and Conditioning Coach during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, the same position he held leading up to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
During the 2018 Games, China's Wu Dajing set a new world record and won the men's 500m short-track speed skating event. The win marked the first gold medal for China at the PyeongChang Games and was the first gold medal for China in men's short track at the Olympics. In total, China speed skaters brought home three medals in 2018.
During the 2014 Games, China won two gold medals, three silver medals and one bronze metal, the most combined medals in men's and women's short track.
In between Olympic Games, Woods worked at Xavier University as a strength and conditioning coach, Ignition Performance Group as an international and university performance coordinator, and the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia as a consultant for short track speed skating.
Woods broke into the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals as a part- time assistant strength and conditioning staff during the 2015 season.
Dustin and his wife, Allyse, have two children, a son, Eli, and a daughter, Zoe.
