"Goodbye University of Memphis and Memphis Tigers Athletics. Three years in the 901...Memphis will always be a part of me. Proud of the UofM Human Performance Center and the blueprint laid for the College of Health Sciences student and athlete success." - Daniel Greenwood, UofM Human Performance Center director.

We'd like to wish Dr. Greenwood well as he begins a new journey as Director of Integrated Sports Performance with the Milwaukee Brewers. ⚾️

Director Dr. Daniel Greenwood was featured as an expert sport scientist by SportTechie in "He’s a Writer, He’s a Track Star: Testing Vicon Blue Trident IMU Sensors in the 200-Meter Dash" by journalist Joe Lemire.

I Measure U Ltd. had journalists try its Blue Trident inertial sensors for a summer of training, culminating in a 200-meter run in honor of the Olympics. Lemire consulted with Dr. Greenwood to review his IMeasureU data from his trial.

“There's almost this threshold on a previously injured limb that athletes aren’t willing to go above,” says Greenwood. “It’s like the body's almost got this inbuilt sort of safety mechanism. Your body is intuitively keeping it safe, without you realizing it.”
