Athletic Training/Conditioning<br />
The athletic training department is one <strong>of</strong> the best in the country.<br />
The Wildcats have immediate access to both the athletic training<br />
room as well as the best doctors in the country.<br />
Led by senior athletic trainer Tricia Matysak, the UK athletic training<br />
staff and physicians who work with the UK Hoops team on a daily<br />
basis <strong>of</strong>fer the best care available to the student-athletes.<br />
The Joe Craft Center athletic training room is complete with rehabilitation<br />
equipment and a rehabilitation area. A treatment area also<br />
exists with numerous types <strong>of</strong> modalities. The state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />
hydrotherapy room includes a Hydroworx underwater treadmill for<br />
aquatic rehabilitation and two therapy pools.<br />

Ansley and her staff before each season to improve performance on the court.<br />
“The athletic training staff is very dedicated to getting the athlete back on the court as soon as they can.<br />
During my rehabilitation Tricia Matysak (UK Hoops trainer) supported me and worked me hard but she helped<br />
me stay focused through tough times or when I wasn’t having a good day. The facilities at UK also were critical<br />
to my recovery after my knee surgery. It would have been a much longer process without the hydrotherapy<br />
treadmill and their other state-<strong>of</strong>-the art equipment.” — Red-shirt junior Eleia Roddy<br />
