During a student-athlete's career at Auburn University, there can be times that managing and adapting to the demands of fast-paced college life can seem overwhelming. The availability of a team of knowledgeable healthcare professionals with diverse backgrounds is critical to help the student-athlete develop effective strategies and skills in order to consistently achieve optimum wellbeing and performance.

Created in 1994, The Optimum Performance in Sports (OPS) Team includes an array of health care professionals. The purpose of the OPS team is to serve as a resource so that Auburn student-athletes can improve their abilities in the classroom, in their sport, and in life. Our team consists of physicians, dietitians, and mental health professionals who work collaboratively to provide individualized and expert care of Auburn student-athletes.
