The athletic health and welfare of Temple athletes in all sports—over 500 athletes in all—is the ultimate responsibility of Dwight Stansbury, who will make the 2012-13 academic year his 19th in the position of head trainer at Temple University.
The St. Helen’s, Ore., native manages a staff of four assistant athletic trainers, five graduate extern trainers, and 26 student athletic trainers. During the course of a typical football season, Stansbury and his staff will use over 250 cases of athletic tape preparing the Cherry and White for the gridiron.
Not only is Stansbury the head trainer for Temple’s 24-sport athletic program, he is also in charge of overseeing the entire athletic medicine department and supervising students in the undergraduate sports medicine program. His domain is Temple’s state-of-the-art 990-square-foot football physical training facility, located within Edberg-Olson Hall. Stansbury also has the use of a 3,800-square-foot training room in McGonigle Hall to ensure the well-being of Temple student-athletes.
Prior to his appointment at Temple, Stansbury served for five years as assistant football and head men’s track and field trainer at the University of Tennessee. During his tenure in Knoxville, he treated the Volunteer football players that won the 1990 Cotton Bowl, 1991 Sugar Bowl and 1993 Hall of Fame Bowl and participated in the 1992 Fiesta Bowl. The men’s track and field team won the SEC Championship in each of his years on the staff and captured a national title in 1991.
Stansbury served as head football trainer at Lamar University, in Beaumont, Texas, from 1986-87. Before that, he spent 18 months as an athletic trainer at the Physical Therapy and Rehab Center in Gainesville, Fla. Stansbury also worked with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons as a training camp intern while pursuing his master’s degree.
A 1983 graduate of Oregon State University with a degree in physical education and athletic training, Stansbury received his master’s degree from the University of Florida in 1984.
Born February 9, 1953, he and his wife Jody reside in South Jersey with daughters Amy (22), Cindy (19), and Emily (13). Amy ran cross country and track at Temple.
