​ETSU enters partnership with BridgeAthletic
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 13, 2022) – East Tennessee State University’s Center of Excellence for Sports Science and Coach Education (CESSCE) has announced a new partnership with BridgeAthletic, a company renowned for supplying world-class software that not only tracks athletic performance but delivers custom training programs to the individuals who use it.

As a part of the partnership, ETSU will gain access to BridgeTracker, a cutting-edge athletic management data tracking system. The cloud-based software prioritizes sport efficiency. It allows athletes, coaches and researchers to develop customized workout plans based not only on an athlete’s current ability and goals, but also their sport- and position-specific needs. Because the data is centralized, individuals will be able to find their workout plans, nutrition information, performance statistics and more in one convenient location that can be accessed at any time from a variety of desktop and mobile devices. 

“The CESSCE is at the vanguard of sport science and performance coaching education,” said Andrew Nelson, ETSU Olympic Sports performance coach and sport physiology and sport performance doctoral student. “This partnership with BridgeAthletic is another step toward actualizing a scientific approach to address issues surrounding athletic performance. BridgeAthletic’s pioneering software allows for improved efficiency in the delivery and monitoring of training that will ultimately assist in our efforts to produce transformational research and performance coaching.”

Additionally, BridgeAthletic services are now available to ETSU affiliates and alumni at a discounted rate. 

For more information about CESSCE’s partnership with BridgeAthletic and their services, contact Nelson at nelsonda1@etsu.edu or call the CESSCE at (423) 439-8476.

It is with sadness that we have to announce the resignation of Clive Brewer our Performance Director for the Center of Excellence. Clive has taken this position to a different level of excellence. In his time at ETSU working in the Center of Excellence for Sport Science and Coach education, his expertise has established relationships with both ISSPF and Bridge Athletics, adding to the already existing relationships built with Smartabase ( Fusion Sport) Vald and Catapult. Clive established a solid foundation with all ETSU intercollegiate athletic programs, both athletes and coaches, which will serve us well into the future. He began an initiative which will continue here at ETSU  bringing together sport science, sports medicine, strength and conditioning and nutrition in a truly integrated sport performance program.
Clive will continue to contribute to our program as an outside advisor. He has been a contributor to our program since  2007, participating and sharing his knowledge in the Annual Coach Colleges. We wish Clive all the very best in his next adventure pioneering a new position as Director of Athletic Performance with Ortho Arizona in Phoenix.  
 
“I have always believed that the CESSCE program at ETSU, spearheaded by Prof. Michael Stone, a world leader in his field, is visionary and has the unique opportunity to impact sports science and performance on a national & international level. I have been invested in taking the postgraduate coaches who are learning best practice in science and supporting their development as practitioners working to provide S&C and sports science support to the coaches working within the Div 1 Athletic Department here at ETSU. The synergy between athletics, academics and sports medicine, is inspiring, and I have loved every second of my time here. Whilst I am excited to be moving into a new challenge integrating return to performance and athletic performance training into a leading medical provider, I am humbled to be asked to remain connected to the program and continue to support it, and the coaches college. I am proud of every one of the coaches here, and I am excited for the future as they move forward into roles within American sports”.
