ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE / SPORTS MEDICINE
UC SAN DIEGO INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Two integral parts of the UC San Diego athletic department are the Athletic Performance Program and the Sports Medicine Program,
both of which provide a tremendous advantage to all 23 of the UCSD intercollegiate sports.
The Athletic Performance Program is geared toward teaching each student-athlete how to achieve the highest level of athletic development
through enhancement of all components of strength and conditioning. Athlete workouts are monitored and planned out by Rob Mamula,
UCSD’s Director of Athletic Performance who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Triton athletics. Mamula represents
the only full-time strength and conditioning coach in the entire CCAA. The Tritons work out in the RIMAC weight room that is over
12,000 square feet in size with state of the art equipment. The UCSD Athlete Performance Program is truly designed with the studentathlete’s
enhancement in mind. Very few programs at the Division II level have such expertise and first class facilities at the disposal
of the student-athlete helping to further distinguish the Triton Athletic Department as one of the premier intercollegiate programs in the
country.
The UC San Diego Sports Medicine Center
is the hub for the prevention, treatment and
rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries
suffered by Triton student-athletes. Under
the supervision of head athletic trainer Kevin
Messey MS, ATC, CSCS and his staff, UCSD
athletes receive the highest quality medical
care and access to an extensive network of
physicians and other medical specialists.
The rest of the training room staff is comprised
of two full-time ATCs and an average of 10
athletic training students (ATS). The UCSD
athletic training room is a clinical site for San
Diego State University’s accredited athletic
training education program where some of the
athletic training students fulfill their clinical
experience. Additionally the UCSD Sports
Medicine Center offers a wide variety of
options for examination and rehabilitation.
From acupuncture to a group of six
highly specialized sports medicine, family
practitioners and orthopedic surgeons, the
UCSD training room has a multitude of options
at your disposal to get you healthy and back on
the field of competition in no time.
