Eddie Myers IV '22, M'23 came to LVC as a student-athlete looking for opportunities to develop academically, professionally, and personally. Those opportunities have led the athletic training graduate to exciting experiences in professional football.

Myers was a member of track and field for five years at LVC, finishing second in long-jump at the MAC Championships. His love for sports took on new meaning when Dr. Eva Frank encouraged him to enroll in the Master of Athletic Training program.

Myers says the support and passion of faculty were instrumental in his success.

"They all inspired me to achieve greatness and to even go beyond that," he said. "The drive and ambition to strive to greater heights are unmatched, and they instilled that in me."

Myers' clinical experience took him down to Texas to work and learn alongside members of the XFL. The XFL is a professional American football minor league organization, consisting of eight teams. This opportunity allowed him to apply the rigorous curriculum in the field.

"My XFL experience will forever be unmatched. The staff, front office, and players that I worked with are phenomenal," said Myers.
