HT Lindsey Lepley (formerly Lindsey Klykken) completed her Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training from Grand Valley State University in 2008 and then her Master of Education in Kinesiology from the University of Virginia in 2009. During this time, she supplemented her classroom education with clinical experiences by working in several orthopaedic outreach clinics as an athletic trainer caring for patients across the musculoskeletal continuum: those facing new injury diagnoses, initiating rehabilitation after surgery, coping with recurrent injuries, and making important joint replacement decisions.

It is through these experiences, that Lindsey became increasingly aware that many of the interventions she provided to my patients had little to no evidence-based data to support their efficacy. For this reason, and the desire to design, test

and translate new sports medicine strategies from conception to practice, Lindsey decided to pursue a PhD in Kinesiology from the University of Michigan (from 2010–2014) under the guidance of Dr. Riann Palmieri-Smith. Requiring an active presence in the clinic, this work synthesized experimental techniques from neurophysiology and biomechanics to study the consequences of traumatic joint injury. Lindsey was fortunate to receive the 2016 National Athletic Trainers’ Association Research and Education Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Award for her PhD work.

Continuing this research stream, in 2014 Lindsey accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Kentucky’s internationally renowned Center for Muscle Biology under the guidance of Dr. Timothy Butterfield. A primary enticement of this position was the opportunity to extend her applied clinical research experience and adopt a basic experimental approach to the research problem. This integrated bench-to-bedside research background lends itself to robust innovative research with direct implications for patient rehabilitation.

In August 2015, Lindsey transitioned to a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Connecticut. Since then, she has begun to establish a research environment with strong institutional backing aimed at: 1) examining neuromuscular consequences of traumatic joint injury; and 2) identifying therapeutic

approaches to effectively combat neuromuscular dysfunction.Lindsey is very grateful for the unparalleled mentorship she has had throughout her career. In particular, Lindsey recognizes Brian Hatzel, PhD, ATC, on whom she relied for a foundational education. Lindsey also would like to recognize Todd Jager, ATC, a clinical mentor that helped develop her deep passion for athletic training.

Outside the workplace, Lindsey enjoys outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, and spending time with her golden retriever, Maggie. She is also quick to state that her husband, Dr. Adam Lepley (2008 graduate of the GVSU athletic training program), is her “better half,” providing her with unwavering support and being

the best possible partner in both her personal and professional lives.
