By Sierra Smith, Communications Specialist
University School of Nashville welcomes Jordan Faimon as the new athletic trainer, a role in which he’ll work closely with USN athletes and coaches to manage all aspects of student-athletes’ medical care including preventative medicine, injury care, and recovery.
Faimon joins the Tigers from Elite Sports Medicine & Orthopedics. Prior to moving to Nashville, Faimon worked as a trainer at University of Oklahoma, American University, and South Dakota State University where he earned his master’s degree in sport and recreation studies. During his time at SDSU, he also served as a clinical instructor for entry-level graduate and undergraduate athletic training students. Additionally, Faimon has experience in facility management and talent acquisition. He is National Athletic Trainers Association Board certified and is licensed with the State of Tennessee Department of Health.
"Jordan's experience will be a huge asset to our students and families, and making this hiring move is indicative of our school's commitment to our student-athletes' wellbeing," Athletic Director Josh Scouten shared. "We're excited to have him here and are excited for the future of USN Athletics with him on our team."
Before USN hired Faimon, Vanderbilt provided USN with a part-time athletic trainer. USN will maintain its relationship with Vanderbilt Sports Medicine to provide additional care for student-athletes as needed.
As part of a longstanding tradition, retired teachers and professionals from USN over the years came together to celebrate, connect, and reminisce during their annual luncheon in Durnan Auditorium.
It is common to have five or more University School of Nashville student-athletes sign college athletic commitment letters each year, and this year, USN saw eight more student-athletes commit to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level. USN has several alumni participating in their chosen sport at the collegiate level from the Classes of 2021 through 2025.
