Sports science is a field that is growing rapidly, but it can still feel like the Wild West at times. Many people are unsure where to start, what equipment to purchase, or even if they can do it alone. It can be difficult to find the time for it all. In this lecture, I share the lessons I learned while launching a sport science and athlete monitoring program, with the help of PLNU's head strength coach, Erik Pedersen, CSCS*D RSCC. Some of the lessons will be relatable immediately, while others may come up later down the road. Also, best of luck to Coach Erik as he pursues his passion working with Olympic athletes in Charlotte, NC!

Dr. Jacob Goodin is a professor of kinesiology at Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU), and holds a Ph.D. in Sport Physiology and Performance from East Tennessee State University. He has over a decade of experience as a strength and conditioning coach and sport scientist from the high school to NCAA Division I levels. In addition to his role as a professor and research mentor, Dr. Goodin directs the Athlete Monitoring Initiative at PLNU, which provides testing and monitoring services to over 200 athletes yearly as well as research opportunities for kinesiology students.
