Center for Athlete Well-Being | Our Team

Our Team

Our team brings together researchers, evaluators, developers, and practitioners from across UNC Greensboro and beyond who share a commitment to advancing the well-being of athletes and others who perform in demanding environments. Drawing on expertise from public health, health and human sciences, psychology, kinesiology, and other disciplines, we approach complex challenges through multiple perspectives and areas of expertise. Collaboration is at the heart of our work.

Our team works across disciplines and alongside community organizations, industry partners, and the people we serve to understand emerging needs and develop meaningful solutions. By combining research and evidence with professional expertise and lived experience, we translate knowledge into social innovations, including programs, resources, training, tools, and strategies, that can be put into practice and make a measurable difference in people’s lives. Together, we are building and applying knowledge to help people perform, thrive, and live well.

Managing Director

Email: jjmilroy@uncg.edu

Dr. Jeff Milroy grew up in Scarborough Ontario, Canada, playing hockey (as well as other sports) from an early age. He was an NCAA Division III Hockey player with the SUNY Postdam Bears from 1999-2022 and was captain during his senior year. Whereas Dr. Milroy firmly believes sport performance is important, he has focused much of his energy on amplifying sport as a vehicle for positive human development, health promotion, and the prevention of negative life experiences.
