Adam Virgile is the Sports Science Coordinator for the University of Vermont. Formerly a Performance Analyst and Strength Coach for the New York Rangers, Adam helped evolve the Sports Science model in the NHL, creating a unique database to track training loads and open up more lines of communication between coaches and players on best practices for optimal performance.

Now at UVM, Adam is responsible for developing data driven insights to all sports with a special emphasis on men's ice hockey. He is also an Adjunct Professor at UVM, teaching the next generation of strength coaches how to incorporate technology into their skillset. Finally Adam is a PhD candidate doing some extensive research into improving wellness questionnaires so that they can better impact decision-making on training loads.

What Adam has done over the last several years is really unique and we went in depth on what he helped build with the Rangers and how it impacted the franchise. We also chatted at length about his PhD project, which ought to further the model of athlete questionnaires and align coach/athlete perceptions of stressors.
