Thanks to a brand-new partnership with NYU Langone Orthopedics, NYU Athletic Medicine now boasts nine Certified Athletic Trainers dedicated to our student-athletes. Our expanded staff utilizes a multidisciplinary approach including evidence-based rehabilitation techniques and therapeutic interventions to provide comprehensive and holistic care for every student-athlete. This advanced cross-collaborative structure significantly enhances student-athlete performance and welfare outcomes.

With the installation of a full-time sports scientist/data analyst, NYU Athletics can now better resource coaches and students with higher-level data interpretation. From GPS wearables, force plates, and velocity-based training tools to isometric testing, our staff can more effectively map physical progress and fine-tune performance over time. Upcoming second phase of Data Analytics enhancements will also include 2D/3D video analysis, in-house VO2 testing, and more.

NYU Athletics has more than quadrupled the number of sports psychology and mental performance professionals dedicated to our varsity student-athletes. From endurance sports subject experts to team dynamic specialists, and a renowned executive performance provider, NYU athletes can now access more robust services to perform as an athlete and develop as a person.

Mental performance coaching helps athletes build the mindset needed for both elite sports and long-term wellbeing. By developing confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and composure under pressure, athletes gain practical skills to navigate challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and thrive both in competition and in life beyond sports.

Adding to our robust varsity Refueling Stations, the Violets now have access to dedicated sought-after sports nutrition specialists. NYU Athletics' Performance Nutrition program provides individualized, evidence-based strategies to help athletes fuel, recover and perform at their highest level. Our approach goes beyond simply “what to eat,” translating sports nutrition science into practical, safe and sustainable strategies that support training, competition, recovery and long-term performance.

In partnership with NYU's world-renowned Health and Wellness Resources, NYU Athletics is enhancing the clinical resources available to our student-athletes. We know mental health is an integral component of an athlete’s overall health- inextricably linked to physical performance, injury recovery, and competitive success. Mental well-being requires continuous attention and open dialogue. We meet student-athletes where they are; breaking down stigma, and establishing the foundational support they need to navigate challenges both on and off the field.

Train. Refuel. Recover. Repeat. We give athletes the habits and tools to repair their bodies, replenish energy, and reset their minds between sessions. NYU Athletics has made significant investment in recovery technologies compression sleeves, massage guns, zero-gravity treadmills, temperature, contrast, and compression therapies. Fall 2026 will see the opening of a dedicated varsity Recovery Center including: anti-gravity chairs, dry float beds, sleep pods, and more.
