We are at a critical juncture in the culture of elite sport. The pendulum is swinging in the direction of brain and behavior departments being as critical to the success of athletic programs as strength and conditioning, nutrition, and medicine.

Currently, we are providing as comprehensive of care as any department in the country. We have one of the lowest ratios of student-athletes and teams to provider with a diverse staff and unique expertise. Our department focuses on a multi-teared approach targeting first the primary healthcare needs of the student-athletes (mental health), followed by individual mental skill building and team mental toughness training.
