Steven Upham

Born and raised in sunny and very hot Arizona, grew up to two parents that preached those who work for it will be rewarded. Growing up, had a diverse experience in sports, specifically with lacrosse, that helped feed into my love of sports that still exists today.

I attended Northern Arizona University for my undergrad where I received my bachelor's degree in athletic training, while completing my senior capstone project on sickle cell in athletics. From there I continued in my education at California State University, Fresno where I will be receiving my master's degree in Kinesiology emphasis on sport psychology.

In my career, I have had the great advantage of working with a variety of teams at a variety of levels, with emphasis mainly on football. My career has taken me from the FCS/Division I-AA level at Northern Arizona (where I also completed a clinical site at a high school for a semester), to a top Division I/FBS at Arizona State, and to a mid-major Division I/FBS at Fresno State. Currently, my background continues to get more diverse to include the NAIA level at Arizona Christian University. Sports that I have had the opportunity to be a athletic training student and/or certified athletic trainer for include football, high school basketball and baseball, cross country, wrestling, men's and women's soccer, and mens/women's golf.
