Through a new relationship with the West Virginia Secondary School Activities (WVSSAC) Commission, the Marshall Sports Medicine Institute (MSMI) will begin providing sports training coverage for all state championship sporting events in southern West Virginia.
Tom Belmaggio, director of Marshall University Sports Medicine, said with this new outreach program that Marshall sets itself as a leader in the area of athletic training.
“Since 2014, we’ve strived to be the leader in the field of sports medicine. We are very honored and excited that we are able to provide athletic training services to the WVSSAC,” Belmaggio said.
Belmaggio also said the services will be provided through the Marshall Sports Medicine Institute and he thinks they will represent the university well at state sports events.
