Profile Daniel Greenwood is the Director of the Human Performance Center at the University of Memphis. Daniel manages a team of scientists across multiple disciplines to deliver applied performance projects to solve injury and performance problems for coaching, training, development and medical staff. With an understanding that practical solutions are complicated, the ability to bring together experts from multiple disciplines to solve applied questions and deliver ‘real-life’ solutions is a strength of Daniel and the Center. With a PhD in Applied sport science, over 15 years of elite high-performance sport science experience, and a degree in sports and exercise management, Daniel brings theoretical and experiential knowledge to direct the human performance programs. Experience working in multiple international sports institutes across 3 continents and a huge variety of sports provides a broad understanding of the underpinning processes for successful application of applied science to improve human performance. Daniel's experience with, and contribution to, highly successful Olympic level and World Champion athletes in multiple sports provides credibility to start conversations and build relationships with elite athletes, programs and organizations to facilitate long term growth. With a background in biomechanics and experience in major sports science labs, he has a deep understanding of the collection of data within sports contexts; including the adoption and application of relevant technologies, the management of multi-season data sets, and integration of multiple data sources. However, his most unique asset is a PhD in skill acquisition (motor control) and the communication and interpretation skills which accompany that. A detailed understanding of how people learn and how information can be used to change behavior, a topic on which he has delivered presentations at major international conferences, allows a unique use of information to improve practical understanding and performance. Daniel's most significant published research highlights the mutual benefit of combining coach and scientist knowledge to better understand sport performance in complex performance environments. This underpins his approach to performance science at the elite level, that the combination of specialist knowledge from a variety of areas is required to facilitate change in applied environments. This collaborative approach extends to engaging with, and involving coaches, athletes and support staff throughout the planning, measurement and intervention process to ensure better understood and more successful results and outcomes.
