High Point University Panthers

2009 Season Preview After going 8-5-8 and reaching the Big South Tournament semifinals in 2008, the High Point University women’s soccer team will feature a new look in 2009 when it kicks off the program’s first season under head coach Marty Beall. Beall came to High Point after six years as head coach at Francis Marion, where he compiled an overall record of 56-44-7. He also led the team through a successful transition from Division II to Division I during his time as head coach. HPU returns 16 letterwinners in 2009, including 13 student-athletes who started at least one game in 2008. Led by senior Laura Eldridge and junior Sara Rager, these returners accounted for 62 percent of the scoring and 68 percent of the points last season. “I think we are coming allong really well,” said Beall. “The girls are adjusting to a new way of playing, much more possession oriented. I am really impressed with the work effort of our returning players and I think throughout the year we will grow as a team.” Goalkeepers High Point is very deep in goal with two returners who started games last season. Senior Marissa Abbott returns as the starting goalkeeper this year after starting the final 11 games in 2008. Abbott compiled a 0.92 goals-against-average last season, the second-lowest single-season total in HPU Division I history. An all-around top-level goalkeeper, Abbott is a good shot blocker who understands the game at a high level and does a good job organizing her defense in front of her. The senior holds the HPU Division I record for career wins with 14 and career shutouts with 12. Backing up Abbott and pushing for a starting role will be sophomore Andrea Ritchie. As a true freshman in 2008, Ritchie started eight games and compiled a 1.04 GAA, the fourth-best single-season average in HPU’s 10-year Division I history.

DEFENSE The defense should be a strong point for the Panthers in 2009, as they return four players who combined to make 73 of a possible 84 starts in 2008. The backline will be anchored by sophomores Brielle Spencer and Danniel Rosado in the middle. Both players are extremely hard workers who have em-

braced a leadership role in the back, organizing the defenders and winning balls in front of goal. Redshirt freshman Lindsey Cooper will see plenty of time in her first season, coming off the bench as a third center back to spell both Spencer and Rosado. The outside back position is one of the deepest on the team. Senior captain Courtney Spotts and sophomore Robin Pecoraro return as the starters in 2009 after starting a combined 39 games last season. Both starters are quality one-on-one defenders who possess great speed and will get forward to provide service into the box in the attack. Backing up Pecoraro and Spotts will be senior Janine Lind as well as freshmen Janay Whittaker, Alex Cranston, Casey Greco and Jenny Butler. All four freshmen could contribute in their first collegiate season.

MIDFIELD High Point University’s midfield will take on a different look this season with four attacking midfielders positioned above a holding defensive midfielder in the center of the pitch. The team will also have to make up for the departures of senior Renee Hitchcock and freshman Karra Damascus, who combined for 12 goals and 25 points. Leading the attack from the midfield this season will be Rager, a second-team All-Big South honoree in 2008. She finished the season as High Point’s leader with 16 points on four goals and eight assists. A strong player with the ball, Rager possesses great vision and a superb ability to create for herself and her teammates. The Silver Spring, Md., native finished second in the Big South in assists in 2008 and is already third alltime in the High Point Division I career-record book with 14 assists over her first two seasons. Joining Rager in the attack will be fellow junior Jillie Johnston and sophomores Laura Shupe and Katie Taber. Johnston played in 14 games last season and scored five points on two goals and an assist. She will provide possession and service in the attack. Taber played in all 21 games in 2008 and notched nine points on three goals and three assists. A great oneon-one player, Taber provides an offensive threat this year as she slides into the starting lineup. Shupe returns to the midfield after playing in 21 games with 15 starts last season. The Cary, N.C., native will look to become a larger part of the attack this season after notching three goals as a freshman in 2008.

2009 HPU Panthers

2009 Women’s Soccer Off the bench, look for senior Danielle Eldridge and freshmen Kaitlin Harris and Kim Grennan to contribute in attacking roles during the season. Playing between the attack and the backline as a defensive midfielder will be Laura Eldridge. The senior captain’s six goals in 2008 is tops among returning players as she played all over the field in 2008. In 2009, the Knoxville, Tenn., native will play as a holding midfielder, keeping possession and allowing the team to transition from defense to offense. She will also serve as a threat on set pieces due to her skill in the air. Senior captain Lauren Stockell and sophomore Rachel Parker will provide quality depth in the defensive midfield in 2009. Stockell is a versatile player who has battled injuries in each of her past two seasons. Now healthy in 2009, she can be used as a central defender and attacker as well as a holding midfielder.

FORWARDS Starting up top for the Panthers in 2009 is freshman Christa White. A hard-working forward, White is strong in the air and can possess the ball at the top of the attack. White comes to High Point from Cary Christian High School in nearby Cary, N.C., where she earned All-State honors in 2008. Danielle Eldridge, Taber and senior Ashley Holleran could all see time at the front of the attack while relieving White

HPU will then open up its home schedule on Friday, Aug. 28 with a game against MAAC regualar-season champion Loyola (Md.). After a road game at Old Dominion, the Panthers will return to Vert Stadium to host the High Point University Invitational on Sept. 4 and 6.

“We have stepped up our non-conference schedule this season,” said Beall. “There is no easy non-conference game this season and I really think it will benefit us in the long run. Especially when it comes time for conference play, I think the team will be so used to playing at a high level that it will help us.” The Panthers get five home games during conference play this season including home tilts against Radford, Coastal Carolina and Charleston Southern, the top three teams in the Big South preseason poll. The team also hosts Liberty and VMI and will play at GardnerWebb, Winthrop, Presbyterian and UNC Asheville.

High Point University Panthers

2008 Recap

The 2008 High Point University women’s soccer team finished the season with an 8-5-8 record overall and a 3-2-4 record in the Big South. It was the second-straight year and the fourth in five years that the Panthers finished the season with a winning record. HPU advanced to the semifinals of the Big South Tournament before falling to Coastal Carolina by a score of 1-0 to finish the season. HPU’s five losses in 2008 marked the fewest in the program’s 17-year history and the team’s eight draws established a program record. The Panthers closed with a flurry, losing just twice in their final 11 contests of the regular season. The team thrived on the road in 2008, losing just two matches at road or neutral sites. Overall, HPU went 5-2-5 away from Vert Stadium for a .625 winning percentage. The Panthers were a balanced team in 2008 with 11 different players scoring a goal and 14 different players earning at least one point. Sophomore Sara Rager, led the team with 16 points on four goals and eight assists and she was followed closely by freshman Karra Damascus and junior Laura Eldridge, who each had 15 points. Rager’s eight assists was the second-best total in the conference, one behind the conference leader. Senior Renee Hitchcock, Eldridge and Rager all earned All-Big South honors in 2008 with Eldridge earning first-team accolades and Rager and Hitchcock receiving second-team honors. In addition, freshman Taylor Ray was named to the All-Freshman team.

Several HPU players moved up the record books in 2008. Eldridge moved into fourth on the school’s Division I career records in both points and goals while Rager improved to third in assists after just two seasons. Rager’s eight assists tied the school’s Division I record previously held solely by Ryan Hays. In the net, junior Marissa Abbot became the school’s Division I leader in career shutouts and wins. Her five shutouts on the season tied her own single-season record and her 0.92 goals-against average was the second-best single season mark in the team’s Division I history. Numerous freshmen emerged as key contributors during the 2008 season. In addition to Damascus and Ray, freshmen Katie Taber, Laura Shupe, Robin Pecoraro, Danniel Rosado and Brielle Spencer all played large roles for the Panthers. In the midfield, Taber earned nine points on three goals and three assists while Shupe added three goals of her own. Pecoraro, Rosado and Spencer combined to make-up three quarters of an HPU backline which allowed just 1.05 goals per game. REGULAR SEASON High Point opened its 2008 campaign with a pair of home contests at Vert Stadium, dropping a 3-0 decision to Old Dominion in the opener before rebounding with a 1-1 tie against Wofford. Ten HPU rookies made their collegiate debuts during the weekend. Ray scored the first goal of her career and the inaugural tally of the season in the opening two minutes of HPU’s game against Wofford.

The Panthers kicked off a stretch of eight of nine contests away from home the following week as the team posted an undefeated record in two games, earning a scoreless tie at Chattanooga and a 1-0 victory over USC Upstate. Freshman goalkeeper Andrea Ritchie tallied a pair of shutouts, holding opponents scoreless for 200 minutes. Shupe scored her first collegiate goal against USC Upstate for the only tally of the week for HPU. High Point extended its undefeated streak to six games with a 2-0-1 mark during the third week to bring its season record to 3-1-3. The Panthers played to a 1-1 tie at Elon before capturing the tournament crown at the MTSU Classic by posting wins over Alabama A&M and Middle Tennesse State. HPU tallied eight goals for the week after scoring just two goals in the first four games of the season Eldridge netted four goals in the week including HPU’s first hat trick since the 2004 campaign. Damascus also recorded three goals. High Point completed a stretch of five games in 10 days with three wins and two ties, and outshot its opponents 57-40 for the week. Eldridge, Damascus and Ray were all named to the MTSU Classic AllTournament team. The Panthers’ unbeaten streak came to an end with a close, 1-0, loss at the College of Charleston, but the team recovered the following week to earn its fourth draw of the season at Georgia Southern with a 4-4 double overtime decision. Hitchcock doubled her career-goal total by tallying a pair of scores against the Eagles High Point re-entered the win column after an impressive 6-0 road victory at South Carolina State to

2009 HPU Panthers

2009 Women’s Soccer close the non-conference portion of its schedule. Rager led HPU to the win with a pair of goals and two assists, becoming the third player with a multigoal performance on the season. The six points in the game was a career high for the sophomore. Abbott made her season debut for the Panthers and earned the shutout victory, giving her an HPU career record of eight. The Panthers extended their win streak to three games and their undefeated streak to four following a pair of shutout wins over Big South foes UNC Asheville and Winthrop. In their first home contest in over a month, the Panthers defeated Winthrop, 2-0, in front of a school-record crowd of 1,493. HPU’s undefeated streak ended at five games after the team posted a 1-1 mark in two Big South games the following week, earning a key road win at Liberty before dropping a disappointing double-overtime loss to Charleston Southern. Down, 1-0, against Liberty, HPU rallied with three unanswered goals, including the game winner from Rager for a 3-1 victory. The Liberty win gave HPU a 3-0 start in Big South play for just the second time in program history. The team was unable to go 4-0 though, as it dropped a hard fought 2-1 decision to CSU in double overtime. It was the Panthers’ first loss in four weeks.

POSTSEASON High Point hosted the 2008 Big South tournament in Vert Stadium. In their opening round game, the Panthers improved to 6-4 in tournament openers with a 3-2 win over Charleston Southern. Damascus became the fourth player of the season for HPU with a multigoal performance with two scores against the Lady Buccaneers. The team could not sustain the success however, losing in the semifinals to Coastal Carolina by a score of 1-0. Both Damascus and Abbott garnered Big South All-Tournament accolades for their strong play throughout the team’s two games. High Point’s 2008 season continued the Panther’s tradition of being one of the top teams in the Big South Conference. HPU will look to continue to build on that success as the team enters the 2009 season.

High Point would finish the regular season with a record of 0-1-4 with ties against Presbyterian, Radford, Gardner-Webb and Coastal Carolina and a 3-1 loss to VMI. Against Gardner-Webb, the Panthers achieved a program-record tying eighth shutout and Abbott matched the school record with her fifth shutout of the year.

High Point University Panthers DR. NIDO QUBEIN

High Point University President

Dr. Nido Qubein

Dr. Nido Qubein believes in creating significance – both in his own life and in the lives he touches. He is a man of diverse interests and talents, and uses the life God has given him to create a legacy that reaches far and wide. Dr. Qubein came to the United States as a teenager with little knowledge of English, no contacts and only $50 in his pocket. His life has been an amazing success story. Having graduated from High Point University in 1970, it is poetic that Dr. Qubein would be pursued as its seventh president in 2005. He immediately began a campaign to transform the university, with $300 million being invested in academic programs, student life and facilities. HPU has completed or is constructing 15 new buildings and two stadiums, in addition to renovating 27 other structures on campus. That includes all athletic facilities, with the construction of the Steele Center, Vert Stadium and Willard Stadium, and the renovation of the Millis Center. The HPU campus has grown from 90 acres to 180 acres. Most recently, the University Center, the Plato S. Wilson School of Commerce and the Nido R. Qubein School of Communication were opened to students. Dr. Qubein also teaches a required course called The President’s Seminar on Life Skills, teaching freshmen how to develop such skills as self-esteem, leadership, communication and time management. Dr. Qubein is the recipient of the highest awards given for professional speakers including the Cavett (known as the Oscar of professional speaking), the Speakers Hall of Fame, Horatio Alger Award for Distinguished Americans and The Order of the Long Leaf Pine (North Carolina’s highest civilian honor) and Sales and Marketing International’s Ambassador of Free Enterprise. Toastmasters International named him the Top Business and Commerce Speaker and awarded him the Golden Gavel Medal. He served as president of the National Speakers Association, which has a membership of 4,000 professionals, and is the founder of the National Speakers Association Foundation, where the highest award for Philanthropy is named for him. Dr. Qubein has been the recipient of many honors including the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and induction into Beta Gamma Sigma, the honor society for business leadership. Dr. Qubein’s business savvy led him to help start a bank in 1986 and today he serves on the board and chairs the executive committee of BB&T, a Fortune 500 financial corporation with $130 billion in assets and 30,000 employees. He is also chairman of Great Harvest Bread Company, which has 218 stores in 42 states, and he serves on the board of La-Z-Boy Corporation, one of the world’s largest and most recognized furniture retailers. He is a former board member of the YMCA of the USA, which oversees 2,600 YMCAs across the country. Dr. Qubein has written a dozen books and recorded scores of audio and video learning programs. His books are translated in 20 languages and sold worldwide. He is an active speaker and consultant addressing business and professional groups. His foundation provides scholarships to 48 deserving young people each year. To-date the Qubein Foundation has granted more than 600 scholarships, worth over $4 million. 32

ACADEMICS AT HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY The most important thing to consider in choosing a college or university is the institution’s expectation of its faculty. Good professors are actively involved in both teaching and scholarly activity, such as research, but institutions and their faculties tend to give priority to one or to the other. In a recently completed study, the prestigious Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching concluded that often, at the research institutions, “undergraduates are seriously neglected,” in part because they are often taught by graduate students. By contrast, at High Point, you will be taught by career teachers who care about students. Currently, 78 percent of the faculty have doctorates or other terminal degrees; others have one or more master’s degrees. Although High Point University is an academic institution, your education is not complete if, in the process of learning, you have not inculcated moral values without which success in life and work is at risk. Therefore, the University emphasizes the teaching of ethics across the curriculum, and all degree candidates must successfully complete at least one course in ethics. Options include Business Ethics; Christian Ethics; Ethics in Professionalism for Accounting; Ethical Conflicts in Information Technology; Environmental Ethics; Ethical Traditions; Faith, Ethics, and Wholeness; Families, Values, and Ethics; and Social Ethics.

“At High Point University, every student receives an extraordinary education in a fun environment with caring people”

THE HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY CAMPUS In the midst of a $300 million new-construction and renovation program, the campus of High Point University is currently experiencing the greatest period of growth in its history. The University Center (above) opened on August 21, 2009 with a total of 277,000 square feet. The $65 million building has luxury residential space for 500 students, a 200seat movie theater, a convenience store, an entire floor of study areas and multiple dining venues. Included in the University Center are The Point Sports Grille, an interactive sports entertainment restaurant and community gaming center similar to an ESPN Zone, the Great Day Bakery, where students will be able to dine on fresh-baked breads, sandwiches, Panini, fresh salads and pastries, and 1924 Prime Steakhouse, which will serve steaks, fresh fish and poultry entrees and unique vegetarian options. The Plato S. Wilson School of Commerce (top right) is a $16 million, 60,000-square-foot building named in honor of Plato S. Wilson, a 40-year furniture sales and manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

representative for companies including Heritage, Henredon and Henkel-Harris. The new building contains several spaces dedicated to business endeavors, such as a New York Stock Exchange-style investment trading room, complete with a real stock ticker and Reuters trading software, as well as a Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The state-of-the-art Nido R. Qubein School of Communication (bottom right) houses HPUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five communicationbased majors: Electronic Media Production, Games and Interactive Communication, Journalism, Media and Popular Culture Studies, and Strategic Communication. The facility is equipped with an incredible array of high-tech instructional equipment and spaces including two high-definition TV production studios, computer labs, a multi-track audio recording studio, observation decks, 12 editing suites with Final Cut Pro and Pro Tools editing systems, a games/interactive communication development studio, classrooms and faculty offices, a library lounge with rare first-edition books, and the new HPU Internet radio station.

CAMPUS LIFE AT HPU With its beautiful campus containing modern facilities, wooded acreage and well-manicured gardens, High Point University provides an ideal atmosphere for teaching and learning. Located in the city of High Point, N.C., the campus is spacious and open. The campus has expanded from 90 acres to 180 acres, with new buildings and spectacular amenities for High Point University students. Several new residence halls have been built, including Blessing Hall, a $10 million facility made possible by the generous lead gift of one anonymous donor who requested it be called “Blessing.” It is loaded with conveniences that make it a prototype for 21st-century college residence halls. It offers 240 fully furnished, private bedrooms arranged in suites with living rooms, kitchens and dining areas. Residents enjoy spacious common areas, computer lounges, conference areas, laundry rooms and elevators. Slane Student Center is in the middle of campus. This $6.5 million, 90,000-square-foot building connects to the original Slane Student Center via a two-

story atrium and features a high-performance aerobics room, rock-climbing wall, indoor track, fully equipped weight room, food court, dramatic inside and outside basketball courts, outdoor swimming pool, sand volleyball courts, and a grand student atrium with billiard tables and sitting areas. The Earl N. Phillips School of Business is a new 27,000-square-foot building that is the home for the more than 1,000 undergraduate students pursuing a degree in one of High Point University’s 12 undergraduate majors and Master of Business Administration graduate degree. The facility features a 200-seat, tiered lecture hall, four smaller lecture rooms, traditional classrooms, a spacious auditorium, private study rooms, computer labs and faculty offices. Hayworth Park is an extraordinary outdoor experience. Featuring a network of trails and bridges, spectacular waterfalls, a 15-foot overhead trellis, multilevel reflecting pools, 65-foot covered walkway and an amphitheatre, this is the perfect place for an outdoor class, receptions, plays and programs.

2009 Women’s Soccer CRAIG KEILITZ

Craig Keilitz was named High Point University’s Athletic Director in January 2008 and, since then, the HPU Athletic Department has undergone unprecedented change. With Keilitz’s guidance, High Point Athletics has undergone a complete evaluation of all aspects of the department and its various programs with goals of operational efficiency, extraordinary service and championship performance on the top of his list. An energetic and enthusiastic leader, Keilitz’s first major project was a $2 million inside renovation of the Millis Athletic Center, which included a new playing floor, all new chair-back seats throughout the arena, a fourth video board, a new center hung scoreboard and a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system. Keilitz continues to assess HPU’s athletic facilities in order to provide the best resources for the Panthers’ studentathletes and coaches. The Panthers have added women’s lacrosse as a varsity sport, and HPU’s first season of competition will be 2011. In his short tenure, Keilitz has made coaching staff changes in men’s basketball, baseball, women’s soccer and volleyball, and has added several new members to the administrative team. The change in the Athletic Department is already paying dividends, as High Point University recorded its highest-ever finish – third place – in the Big South Conference Sasser Cup standings during the 2008-09 athletic season. Keilitz joined HPU following a long stint at Wake Forest

University, where he served as an Associate Athletic Director. Keilitz began at Wake Forest in 1996 when he was hired as the Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance. After two years, Athletic Director Ron Wellman promoted Keilitz to Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations, where he supervised the NCAA compliance office, the sports medicine and equipment operations as well as strength and conditioning and event management. In 2001, Keilitz was promoted again as Wake Forest’s Associate Athletic Director, supervising the marketing and promotions, media relations and facilities operations while also overseeing the baseball and women’s volleyball programs. Under Keilitz’s supervision, Wake Forest football set season attendance records in five of six seasons. Keilitz started his career in college athletics at the University of Michigan in 1993 and was promoted to Director of Compliance in 1995. A native of Mt. Pleasant, Mich., Keilitz earned his bachelor’s degree in communications with a minor in marketing from Central Michigan University in 1991. He was a member of the Chippewas baseball team. Keilitz received his master’s in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Keilitz resides in High Point with his wife Jane, who works as a physician’s assistant at Johnson Neurological Clinic in High Point. His daughter, Lauren, is a junior at High Point University in 2009-10.

MIKE TUTTLE Senior Associate AD for Compliance Ask before you act! If you are unsure regarding your involvement with our prospects or current student-athletes, please contact Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Mike Tuttle at (336) 841-4518 or mtuttle@highpoint.edu.

High Point University’s Athletics Compliance office monitors and verifies compliance with all NCAA, Big South Conference and University requirements. The office educates not only the athletics staff, administration and student-athletes, but also HPU faculty, staff and administration as well as other individuals and entities with athletic interests. HPU is committed and compelled to the principle of institutional control in the operation of its athletics department in a way that is consistent within the rules and regulations of the NCAA, Big South and HPU. Everyone involved with High Point Athletics, both inside and outside the University, has a role and responsibility to operate with accountability and integrity when it comes to compliance with NCAA rules and regulations. Communication is the key when it comes to understanding how each person fits within the structure of the NCAA’s rules and regulations. Any questions regarding NCAA rules and regulations, especially those dealing with prospects and student-athletes, should be directed toward Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Mike Tuttle at (336) 841-4518 or mtuttle@highpoint.edu. The HPU Athletic program needs your help and support, so please cooperate to ensure success for the Panthers, on and off the field.

NCAA rules and regulations for “Representatives of Athletics Interests” The High Point University Athletic Department in conjunction with the HPU Compliance Office strives for honor and dignity of fair play and the highest standards associated with intercollegiate athletic programs. “Representatives of Athletics Interests,” which include alumni, boosters, and friends of High Point University all have a key role in maintaining our standards under the guidelines of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Relationships are easily formed with HPU student-athletes as fans watch and cheer them on in their competitions. Building these types of relationships is not only exciting for the fans but also important in the lives of the studentathletes. There are many NCAA rules and regulations regarding the eligibility of student-athletes. Ask before you act! Make sure that anything you provide for a student-athlete is within the 38

NCAA’s guidelines. Speak with Senior Associate Athletic Director Mike Tuttle at (336) 841-4518 or mtuttle@highpoint.edu. Some Helpful Facts Only coaches and athletic department staff members are permitted to be involved in recruiting... Alumni, friends and other “representatives of athletics interests” (usually boosters) who are not employed by the University are not permitted to contact a prospect or members of the prospect’s family by letter, telephone or in-person for the purpose of soliciting their participation in the athletic program. High Point University faculty members are allowed to have contact with prospects, but only while on the campus during unofficial or official visits. A student-athlete becomes a prospect... A student-athlete becomes a prospect when he or she begins ninth grade classes. Before the ninth grade, a student-athlete becomes a prospect if a college provides any financial aid or other benefits to the student-athlete (or their relatives or friends) that the college does not provide to all prospective students. A student-athlete is considered a “recruited” prospect at a particular college if any coach or representative of the school’s athletics interest (booster or representative) approaches a studentathlete or any member of their family about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches or boosters that cause a student-athlete to become a recruited prospect are: • Providing the student-athlete with an official visit • Placing more than one telephone call to the student-athlete or any other member of their family • Visiting the student-athlete or any other member of their family anywhere other than on the college’s campus This information was prepared by the High Point Athletic Compliance Office and is presented to you as a guide to assist you with any questions you may have. There are many more NCAA rules and regulations that are not contained here. If you are ever unsure regarding your involvement with our prospects or current student-athletes, please contact Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Mike Tuttle at (336) 841-4518 or mtuttle@highpoint.edu. 2009 HPU Panthers

2009 Women’s Soccer PLAYER DEVELOPMENT Academic Support The Academic Support Program works to provide student-athletes with the resources to excel academically during their participation in intercollegiate athletics. The services offered by the Academic Support Program seek to reinforce the University’s overall mission to promote intellectual and personal growth. Student-athletes have the same academic responsibilities as all other students, but they also must devote significant time and energy to athletics participation. The Department of Athletics Academic Support Program offers various services to assist student-athletes with these responsibilities; however all student-athletes are ultimately personally responsible for following a course of academic study that will lead to a degree. HPU’s Student-Athlete Learning Assistance Center in the Steele Center gives all Panther student-athletes access to top-notch academic resources and amenities.

High Point University Panthers strength & conditioning

High Point University

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING High Point University offers a comprehensive strength & conditioning program that provides a combination of strength and speed in a safe manner that will enable HPU studentathletes to be the strongest, fastest, and most explosive collegiate athletes in the nation. The Panthers’ strength & conditioning program is led by head coach Tim Teefy, who joined HPU in 2009. The profession of strength & conditioning TIM TEEFY is constantly changing and evolving, and Teefy stays on the cutting edge and uses the most innovative practices available. Using any means necessary within the scope of strength & conditioning that will improve the performance of the athlete in a positive manner is what High Point University strength & conditioning is all about. The following six areas are the focal points of High Point University’s strength & conditioning program: • STRENGTH: Olympic lifting techniques are one of the most widely used by strength & conditioning coaches all over the country. These lifts teach the athlete advanced movements while putting the muscular skeletal system under stress and creating positive adaptations. This will mirror the stress the athlete undergoes during competition. • POWER & EXPLOSION: Power is the ability to generate large amounts of force at a high rate of speed. Explosiveness is the ability to generate power in a short amount of time. These two principles can be applicable to every athlete regardless of sport or position. • FLEXIBILITY: Static, dynamic and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation are the three main components of flexibility. Using these three methods helps prevent injury, improve muscle activation, prevents delayed onset muscle soreness, and increases range of motion. • SPEED & AGILITY: Speed training is used to enhance the athlete’s ability to get from point A to B as fast as possible. It involves teaching the athlete proper body mechanics to optimize sprinting performance. Agility is the ability to own a certain amount of space around you. An athlete must be able to react as quickly as possible in all directions for any type of situation. Spatial awareness and muscular coordination play major roles in agility training. • CORE: Core training in recent years has become a major part of strength training for the athlete. “If you want to be strong on the outside, you must be strong on the inside.” The core consists of 36 muscles in and around the abdominal area and lower back region. • NUTRITION: A training body can only perform as long as it’s getting an adequate supply of fuel. An athlete’s calorie intake is under high demand during a full training cycle. Athletes need adequate calories from all major food groups and minerals that will keep the athlete at optimal training performance. High Point University strength & conditioning utilizes weight rooms in both the Steele Center and Millis Center, and HPU’s coaches and student-athletes also have access to the Panthers’ practice fields as well as Belk Track for strength & conditioning activities. 40
