Whether studying at the undergraduate or graduate level, students benefit from an education characterized by rigorous academic programs, close collaboration with faculty mentors and an emphasis on integrity that is reflected in the institution’s Honor Code.

Our programs of study ensure that every student has the chance to apply classroom learning in the field. That may mean fieldwork with a professor or an internship with a trailblazing company. It may mean service learning in a foreign country or a practicum in a professional setting. It’s no wonder that our programs consistently rank among the nation’s best.

26 www.DenverPioneers.com STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Under the guidance of three full-time strength and conditioning coaches, each student-athlete is brought through a periodized training program designed to optimize training for individual sport performance. These state-of-the-art training programs encourage improvement in speed, agility, strength, flexibility and endurance.

The varsity weight room facility consists of six Olympic platforms, five power racks and a complete array of benches and dumbbells. The areas used for conditioning include grass and turf fields, courts and arena stairs. These areas allow for specialized technical, plyometric, sprint resistance, sprint assistance, and agility/mobility workouts throughout all training phases.

Use of all training facilities is restricted to student-athletes in order to provide the highest quality environment for improvement in all athletic endeavors. All workouts are prearranged to allow the athletes to be students and get to all of their classes while still having access to workouts that maximize each individual’s potential.

PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT The University of Denver Strength and Conditioning Program is dedicated to developing its student-athletes to the peak of their physical abilities. This is achieved through the implementation of sound research in the strength and conditioning field. We are committed to developing effective programming for the improvement of speed, agility, muscular power, and endurance. The strength and conditioning program offers student-athletes an environment in which to excel both as individuals and team members. This environment is designed to bring about unparalleled athletic ability as well as teach the leadership, dedication, and determination to excel at sport as well as life.

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the University of Denver Strength and Conditioning Program is to offer the student-athletes the opportunity to excel in their respective sport as well as in life. To fulfill the mission the Strength and Conditioning staff will: • Study the most recent research in the strength and conditioning field in an effort to offer the best possible training for the overall development of each student-athlete. • Implement sound training programs to better develop each athlete for the improvement of speed, muscular power, and endurance. • Teach proper training techniques to prevent injury, advance training adaptations, and promote competitiveness. • Teach leadership to the student-athlete to better prepare them for the world of athletics as well as the life away from their university experience. • Express accountability for hard work, dedication and determination.

www.DenverPioneers.com27 27 SPORTS MEDICINE

The University of Denver sports medicine staff utilizes a comprehensive health plan to care for all Pioneer athletes in 17 varsity sports. Nearly all student-athlete health needs are handled on campus.

A physician from the Student Health Center, located in the Ritchie Center, is scheduled daily to examine student-athletes and facilitate the care of their illnesses or non-orthopedic injuries. Three times a week, an orthopedic surgeon is scheduled in the training room in order to evaluate athletic-related injuries. These policies enable the student-athlete to concentrate more on school and sport, rather than worrying about an off-campus appointment, or finding his or her own doctor and making an appointment.

A student-athlete is rarely required to travel off campus for a diagnosis. With collegiate athletics becoming more demanding on both the players and the coaches, no longer can an individual wait two to three days for a diagnosis. The University of Denver utilizes an on-campus X-ray machine and a local MRI company in order to expedite tests necessary to accurately diagnose and treat sports- related injuries. Most prescriptions are also directly available, and dispensed by a physician through the Sports Medicine department. With these services, an athlete can obtain a diagnosis and begin a treatment protocol almost immediately following an injury in order to return the athlete to safe competition in the least amount of time.

A sports medicine staff member is also present at the majority of varsity practices and all home events. Should an injury occur, it would be dealt with immediately. As seen, the sports medicine staff facilitates the entire healthcare of a student-athlete.

MISSION STATEMENT To provide the varsity scholar-athlete at the University of Denver with the highest quality of medical care and the safest environment in which to compete. To fulfill this mission the Sports Medicine Team will: • Enhance the overall scholar-athlete experience through professional personal interaction. • Utilize state of the art preventative and rehabilitative techniques to minimize injury and enhance the recovery time. • Implement procedures and programs for the supervision, and consistent management of athletic injuries. • Educate the scholar-athlete regarding athletic injuries and subsequent therapy and rehabilitation process. • Counsel scholar-athletes on current issues and make appropriate referrals to outside professionals.

THE CERTIFIED ATHLETIC TRAINER The Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) is a highly educated and skilled professional specializing in athletic health care. In cooperation with physicians and other allied health personnel, the ATC functions as the integral member of the athletic health care team in secondary schools, colleges and universities, sports medicine clinics, professional sports programs and other athletic healthcare settings.

EDUCATION Certified athletic trainers have, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree from an accredited athletic training education curriculum program, however, all five full-time staff members at the University of Denver have at least a master’s degree. Student athletic trainers study a wide range of topics, including human anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, emergency care, injury/illness prevention and evaluation, nutrition, psychology, pathology, pharmacology and administration. They also participate in extensive clinical experience under appropriate supervision. 28 www.DenverPioneers.com CHANCELLOR ROBERT D. COOMBE

HIGH SOCIETY Denver has one of the highest educated populations in America and a great love of the arts. The has doubled in size with a new building designed by Daniel Libeskind. The Denver Performing Arts Complex is the second largest in the nation with 10 theatres seating 10,000 people for theatre, symphony, opera and ballet.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Contrary to popular belief, Denver is not in the mountains; it is near them. The “Foothills” (a gentle series of peaks ranging from 7,000 to 11,000 feet high) start to rise 15 miles west of the city. Slightly beyond that is the Continental Divide and a series of peaks soaring to heights of 14,000 feet, known locally as the “Front Range.” Denver itself is located on high, rolling Indian Peaks plains.

THIN CITY Denver is also one of the “thinnest” city in America and Colorado is the thinnest state. According to the 2013 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, Colorado has the fewest obese citizens in the country, with 18.7 percent of its population obese. The Centennieal State has held the title of thinnest state for three years running. Colorado is the only U.S. state with an adult obesity rate smaller than 20 percent. The active lifestyle in Colorado, the great weather, the abundance of recreational opportunities and the high education level are credited for this fact.

CLIMATE Nothing about Denver is more misunderstood than the city’s climate. Located just east of a high mountain barrier and a long distance from any moisture source, Denver has a mild, dry and arid climate. Dick’s Sporting Goods Complex

The city receives only 8-15 inches of precipitation a year (about the same as Los Angeles), and records over 300 days of sunshine a year — more annual hours of sun than San Diego or Miami Beach.

Winters are mild with an average daily high of 45 degrees, warmer than New York, Boston, Chicago or St. Louis. Snow does fall, but it usually melts in a short time.
