Sports Science Institute

The Sports Science Institute at the University of St. Thomas offers the unique opportunity for undergraduate students to work directly with D-I student-athletes, using state-of-the-art technology to gather and evaluate data that helps teams train, perform, and recover smarter. Program participants receive a stipend for their work and gain real-world experience applying what they learn in the classroom.

Mission

To improve the student experience of both the athlete and non-athlete, through scientific approaches to performance enhancement and injury risk reduction.

Vision

We give students real-life experience by training them to work with Division-I athletes, coaches, and trainers. We provide athletes with access to state-of-the-art equipment and expertise to enhance performance, reduce injury risk, and enrich the life of the student-athlete. We bridge the gap between the world of academics and athletics, leading to an unmatched holistic student experience.
