Members of the SMML went bowling this month as a bonding event! Thank you to everyone who came- we had a great time getting to know each other better 🎳
Hot off the press!🥎📄
Congratulations to first author and SMML alumni, @jesssdowns , on this publication examining range of motion during a simulated game exposure in softball pitchers. Co-authors include Anthony Fava, @kfreeze17 , @NicoleMBordelon , and @gretchendoliver 👏🏼
Congratulations to our very own PhD student, @thebiglozowski , on receiving the G. Dennis Wilson Endowed Scholarship!🎓He is pictured at the College of Education scholarship recognition reception🏆 Keep up the great work, Billy! We are very proud of all your hard work!
Meet one of the SMML’s newest members, Ryan Zappa!☀️⚾️
He is a first year PhD student from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor’s of Science in Athletic Training from Waynesburg University and a Master’s in Sports Medicine from the University of Pittsburgh. . . ↘️
A fun fact about Ryan is that he is working as an athletic trainer for Auburn’s ROTC program. His future aspirations include becoming a professor and teaching in an athletic training program.
Welcome, Ryan!!
@AuburnKINES
The focus of his thesis was body composition and anthropometric measurements in Division 1 athletes. Ryan was drawn to the SMML because of the laboratory’s focus in upper extremity in biomechanics. During his time at Auburn, he plans to investigate catcher biomechanics.
