The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Idaho</strong>’s commitment to its studentathletes<br />
can be seen in the continuing enhancement<br />
and growth <strong>of</strong> its athletic training, and strength and<br />
conditioning services. With the number one goal<br />
being prevention, <strong>Idaho</strong> athlete services provides<br />
not only strength and conditioning, and preventative<br />
athletic training measures, but coordinates with<br />
sports nutritionists and sports psychologists for the<br />
overall well-being <strong>of</strong> Vandal student-athletes.<br />

“We approach our jobs first from a prevention<br />
standpoint,” head athletic trainer Barrie Steele said.<br />
“But, injuries do occur in athletics and when they do<br />
we make sure our student-athletes receive the finest<br />
in immediate and follow-up care. When they return<br />
to competition, our goal is to have them in better<br />
condition than before the injury and with a reduced<br />
chance <strong>of</strong> re-injury.”<br />
