Center of Excellence for Sport Science and Coach Education
The Center of Excellence for Sport Science and Coach Education aims to conduct and share cutting-edge research, provide service to various sports teams both at ETSU and beyond, and increase the professional preparation of coaches.
The evidence-based research conducted at the Center focuses on the development of strength, power and endurance, as well as fatigue management, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.
Many Olympic athletes have spent time working with ETSU faculty and students in preparation for the Olympic Games. The primary purpose for the athlete's visit to ETSU was to work on strength, conditioning, and speed development.
PRACTICAL HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
“It's the actual, practical, hands-on opportunity that was a part of my master's of
working with over 200-300 athletes at ETSU that is potentially going to be what sets
me apart from other candidates."
