Athletic Training and Sports Medicine at Spartanburg Methodist College

A key component of athletic performance is sports medicine. The athletic training staff and facilities at SMC offer student-athletes a variety of resources to provide injury prevention, recovery, and rehabilitation so student-athletes can return to optimum performance and play quickly and safely.

On this page, you will find resources for nutrition for recovery, injury prevention, and timing for performance; sleep; and hydration and mental health for both student-athletes and coaches.

Required information:
