Sports Medicine
Under the direction of head athletic trainer, Greg Dashnaw, entering his 26th year at Siena, and assistant trainers Jill Guarino and Scott Connell, the sports medicine office is responsible for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries to Siena’s athletes. Over the past two decades, Dashnaw has had a tremendous impact on the development and general health of Siena’s student athletes. The sports medicine office also works with the athletes on nutritional counseling and stress management, promoting the physical and psychological well being of student-athletes.

devices, including aquatic therapy through the use of the onsite pool to ensure student-athletes safe and quick recovery to pre-injury (if not better) levels.

Strength and Conditioning
The Siena College Strength and Conditioning department is committed to the pursuit of excellence for our student-athletes. Our scientifically-based programs are designed to physically prepare athletes for competition at the Division I level. Teaching safety, efficiency, and intensity, the program is designed to allow athletes to push themselves to the limit, testing their physical capacity and mental resolve to be a MAAC champion. The means to this end are encompassed through strength-training sessions, in addition to work on flexibility, speed and agility, plyometrics, and sport-specific conditioning.While the program does produce athletes who are bigger, stronger, and faster, the number-one priority is to train athletes in all of the aforementioned areas of strength and conditioning, so that they are less likely to become injured during competition.

At Siena, athletes are taught to trainmove- ments, not body parts. This systemnot only utilizes ground-basedmulti-joint exercises, but also individual joint work to increasemobility and range ofmotion. The entire strength-train- ing workouts last between forty-fiveminutes to an hour while training anywhere fromtwo to four times per week. Strength and Conditioning Coach Daniel Taylor is always on-hand to supervise teamlifts, making sure that the athletes lift with correct formand intensity.
