Eric Storsved was appointed as Bucknell Athletics’ new senior associate director of athletics for student-athlete health and performance in August 2025. This is a reimagined leadership role designed to further strengthen the well-being and success of Bison student-athletes. Storsved has worked in the college athletics healthcare space for nearly 25 years, most recently as assistant athletic director for sports medicine at Elon University. He oversees all aspects of Bucknell’s student-athlete well-being and performance, including oversight of the sports medicine and strength and conditioning programs. Storsved assumes the role of Bucknell’s NCAA-mandated Athletics Health Care Administrator and also takes over the sport administrator responsibilities for the Bison football program.

“I am excited to welcome Eric to the Bison Athletics family as he takes on an important new role that is designed to enhance the performance and well-being of our more than 750 student-athletes,” said Tim Pavlechko, interim vice president for Athletics & Recreation. “Throughout the interview process, it was clear that Eric leads with a people-first approach, and he brings a reputation as a bridge-builder who has collaborated extensively and established partnerships with constituents both on his campus and across the healthcare industry.”

Storsved has headed up Elon’s sports medicine department since 2007, while serving as the head athletic trainer for football and men’s basketball. In addition to his expertise in injury prevention and treatment, Storsved managed a staff of 10 athletic trainers who provided care for student-athletes across 17 Division I sports. He oversaw the implementation of a new physician services team, including primary care, orthopedic, and mental health services. Storsved recently established the first medical collaboration between Duke Sports Medicine and Cone Health, a partnership that enhanced the healthcare services for Elon’s student-athletes.

During his time at Elon, Storsved developed a collaborative partnership between the sports medicine and strength and conditioning staffs in an effort to optimize performance and prevent injuries. He also launched a tailored nutritional program for student-athletes, collaborated with Elon’s counseling services, and teamed with physicians and researchers from the Elon BrainCare Research Institute to expand concussion testing and management. Storsved also served as an adjunct professor in the departments of Exercise Science, Physical Education and Health, and Physical Therapy.

Storsved is a 1999 graduate of North Dakota State University, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in athletic training. He received a master of science degree in kinesiology from Indiana University in 2001 and a master of business administration from Elon in 2021. He worked as a graduate assistant athletic trainer at Indiana and later served as an athletic trainer at Franklin (Ind.) Community High School (2001-02), Adrian College (2002-03), and University of Evansville (2003-07) before moving on to Elon.
