ETSU sport scientists gaining valuable experience around the country

So far in 2012, a number of our students have taken part in internships at a wide variety of colleges, facilities, and teams. These students, as well as studying towards respective degrees, also work incredibly hard as our S&C coaches and sport scientists here at the Center. The experience and knowledge they have gained can only help progress our whole organization and assist the performance of our East Tennessee State University athletic teams and student-athletes. In the coming months, we will have several of these sport scientists report back on their internship experiences.
