St. David's Healthcare Applied Sports Science Assistant

St. David's Healthcare Applied Sports Science Assistant

The Texas Athletics Applied Sports Science Department currently supports the health and performance of over 500 student-athletes across 21 sports. Applied Sports Science is dedicated to leveraging the latest research in human performance to enhance student-athlete health, development, and performance. St. David's Health Care currently partners with Texas Athletics to provide seven applied sports science positions embedded within Texas Athletics. In 2018, St.

David's also contributed capital funds to establish the Center for Applied Sports Science inside Darrell K. Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium (DKR-TMS). In 2025, St. David's pledged additional contributions to build a new Recovery and Restoration Center, also inside DKR-TMS, with completion expected in 2026. The St. David's Health Care Applied Sports Science Fellowship represents a continuation of the commitment to excellence and world-class care that has defined this partnership since 2011.

Applied Sports Science personnel aim to provide coaches, support staff and student-athletes with unique, accurate, actionable, and timely information. This is achieved through performance assessments, athlete monitoring, recovery services, and education—all of which foster an ecosystem that supports evidence-based decision-making regarding student-athlete health and performance.

The primary goal of these fellowships is to support student-athlete health and performance within the existing framework of the Applied Sports Science Department. These positions will provide critical support to existing staff, assisting in the implementation of performance assessments and recovery/restoration services. Selected students will gain valuable hands-on experience with cutting-edge human performance and recovery technologies while working alongside experienced practitioners in a high-performance environment.
