Leadership and Training Staff
Jana Austin: Head Athletic Trainer (promoted from assistant athletic trainer).
Geoff Puls: Head Strength and Conditioning Coach.
Honestly call me a degree whore, but Jana Austin only having a masters should not be the head athletic trainer. I need a doctorate in either medicine or physical therapy for that kind of position.
Seems like a massive oversight.
