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.
Sgt. Anthony Jones joined University School of Nashville in November as a School Resource Officer, a certified police officer who is primarily assigned to a school and provides safety and security-related functions, including emergency response, safety training, traffic direction, and patrol functions.
University of Virginia selected Margot Ross '24 to be a Jefferson Scholar.
