Spider Performance: Athletic Success
We are dedicated to helping Richmond student-athletes play at a championship level, both as an individual and as a team. To achieve this, we’ve assembled a team of coaches and staff to assist with all aspects of athletic performance before, during, and after competition.
Here are some of the ways the Spider Performance student-athlete support system works to optimize athletic success.
Sports Analytics: Spider Athletics makes data-informed decisions to give our athletes every competitive edge, from injury prevention to assistance with recovery, and more. Our staff utilizes the latest technology to keep Spiders healthy and performing at their best.
Sports Performance: Expert strength and conditioning coaches design customized workout plans to enhance athletic performance and injury prevention for every Spider.
Sports Medicine: Athletic trainers and team doctors provide game-day treatment and post-game recovery, as well as comprehensive medical services to help keep players performing at their optimal levels.
Sports Psychology: Focus, confidence, self-talk, relaxation, visualization, mental toughness, and emotion regulation are some of the key mental skills Richmond student-athletes learn through annual mental health trainings for individuals or customized mental health programs for teams.
Nutrition: We fuel our athletes to perform their best with support from campus dietitians who design custom meal plans and workshops on eating to win. Student-athletes can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner in our award-winning dining hall or visit one of our championship fueling stations on campus designed exclusively for student-athletes
Team Leadership: Leadership programming provides education, engagement, and opportunities for Spiders to lead on their team, on campus, and in the community. Real-time assessments and skill-building sessions allow student-athletes to apply their leadership abilities during every step of their time at Richmond.
