More congratulations are in order for Dr. Gretchen Oliver 🎉 Her Sports Medicine and Movement Laboratory was selected to be featured in Auburn University's new nationally televised commercial, debuting Sept. 5 during Auburn Football's season opener against Baylor! Through an innovative partnership with Auburn Baseball, Dr. Oliver and her team are transforming Plainsman Park into a living laboratory, using advanced 3D motion-capture technology to generate data that supports player development, performance and injury prevention. The collaboration also provides Auburn students with hands-on research experiences while advancing discoveries in sports science and biomechanics. Learn more about it at the link in the comments.

The commercial is an incredible showcase of the research, collaboration and student opportunities happening every day in the School of Kinesiology and throughout Auburn University. War Eagle!

Our campus neighbor is the Woltosz Football Performance Center, which gives us a firsthand look at the sights and sounds of football season, way before the first game kicks off.
