Who is a Sports Medicine and Management Tiger?

A Sports Medicine and Management Tiger is a team player — someone who cheers on their team members and shakes hands with their opponents. With an athletic mind, a Sports Medicine and Management Tiger wants to learn how to keep players, teammates and peers safe and healthy while playing the game, whether the “game” is on the field or in the classroom.

The social and curricular aspects of a single gender education at NDB provided an atmosphere that enhanced my learning and socialization experiences. It empowered me with life skills by giving me more responsibility for my education. NDB instilled confidence in me and provided the fundamentals of a strong, well-rounded education that helped me to succeed in my life and career. As an alum and current employee, I'm grateful for the opportunity to interact and act as a role model for students.

Assistant Athletic Director, NDB

What I learned most from NDB was determination and the belief that I could achieve anything I wanted. I studied kinesiology/athletic training in college which at the time was predominantly a profession for men but was starting to see an increase of women joining the profession. At times during my career, I would be the only female amongst a group of all high level collegiate male athletes and coaches, working as the lead healthcare provider for mens' athletic teams. I never felt intimidated or insecure and always earned respect for my professionalism and expertise. I gained so much confidence in myself because of my time at NDB.
