The University of Michigan’s new experiential learning program expands access to sport science education.
The Human Performance & Sport Science Center's Athlete Innovation Initiative at Michigan, helps collegiate athletes level up their training and students level up their expertise.
“We’re trying to create meaningful training opportunities for students who are interested in pursuing a career in sport science,” says Ken Kozloff, a professor of kinesiology, orthopaedic surgery, and biomedical engineering and the co-director of HPSSC and a GSUN Leadership Council Delegate.
“These experiences provide students with not only a technical skillset but also exposure to the highly collaborative and cross-disciplinary elite sport environment, which can only be learned through direct interaction with teams and coaches and student-athletes themselves."
