Missouri has come full-circle from its fragmented, tiny facilities of recent history, to which Brian Stock, who has spent the past five years as a student trainer, can attest. The equipment we had was all old. The stuff we have now, I've traveled to a lot of different places, and nobody has anything like this. I've been to a lot of big schools, Michigan, Texas, Penn State, UCLA, they don't have anything like this. There are some other ones that are nice, but they're not this big, and they don't have everything we have.
People come in here from other schools, and they're in awe.
The main room of the sports medicine center is split in two by a pair of offices. All the exercise machines are located in the rehabilitation area, with separate rooms for the whirlpools and the SwimEx. At first site, it appears to be a giant bathtub. But closer inspection reveals what this 3,200-gallon pool, one of only about five big SwimExs located in college sports medicine centers across the country, can do. Panels can be taken out of the bottom of the pool, adjusting its depth from 4 to 6 feet.
