Help Us Welcome Marc To The Team!
We are extremely excited to announce that we have added Marc Drobenko to the Integrated Health Sciences team! Marc has had many interesting experiences that brings quite a uniqueness to the clinic at iPT!
Background:
Marc graduated from Quinnipiac University in 2015 where he obtained his undergraduate degree in Athletic Training / Sports Medicine. As a sophomore in college, Marc interned with Stanford University’s Football Team for the 2013 Preseason Training Camp. From this experience, Marc quickly realized the importance of two things: (a) the importance of continuing education in order to advance himself to be the best version of himself and (b) the importance of having an interdisciplinary approach when working with any individual in the health & performance world. After he received his bachelor’s degree, Marc packed his bags and headed to California. Little did he know that his 2013 internship essentially was his future job interview with one of the most prestigious universities & athletic programs in the world. He was hired by Stanford University to serve as an Athletic Trainer for their Football & Synchronized Swimming programs.
At Stanford, Marc was a member of the 2016 Rose Bowl Championship team as well as a member of the National Champion Synchronized Swimming team. Throughout his time, Marc experienced working with some of the most elite athletes in the country, including 25+ current NFL players & Olympians. Marc understands the ins & outs of what it takes to compete & be sustainable at elite levels of performance. Aside from his two primary sport assignments, Marc gained experience with Stanford’s swimming and diving, soccer, and golf programs. Marc served as the Host Athletic Trainer for the 1st & 2nd Rounds of the 2016 Women’s March Madness Tournament hosted at Stanford. At the 2016 LPGA Tour U.S. Open at Cordevalle, Marc and the rest of Stanford Sports Medicine were hired to perform Functional Movement Screens for the general population.
Upon leaving Stanford, Marc returned back to Quinnipiac University as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer in order to obtain his Master’s in Business with a concentration in Healthcare Administration. At Quinnipiac, Marc worked with many of the university’s teams including: baseball, softball, cross country, track & field, women’s lacrosse, tennis, & golf. This past April, Marc served as the Host Athletic Trainer for the 2019 Geico High School Basketball National Championship at Christ the King High School.
