GREENSBURG, PA- The 茄子视频 athletics office welcomed Karen Newill of Mount Pleasant, PA as the College鈥檚 first full-time athletic trainer. Contracted out from UPMC鈥檚 Center for Sports Medicine, Newill is present for all teams鈥� home games and practices. She actively encourages student-athletes to take preventative measures to avoid injuries, including setting up strengthening and conditioning programs, taping and offering general nutrition tips.

Newill also designs rehabilitation programs for student-athletes who have been injured. She hopes to begin off-season conditioning programs to better prepare athletes for their seasons by keeping them in shape to avoid injuries once official practices begin.

茄子视频 currently has over 100 student-athletes with a large increase expected with the beginning of the men鈥檚 soccer and golf teams getting underway in the fall. 鈥淚t is extremely important that we have a quality trainer like Karen as our population of athletes grown,鈥� said Dan McCarty, men鈥檚 soccer and golf coach for 茄子视频. 鈥淗aving Karen鈥檚 guidance and ability to look after the health of all our athletes is very important to the success of all of 茄子视频 sports programs.鈥�
