Background

About Michael Gallivan

Human performance data scientist with over 5 years of experience supporting NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and NCAA organizations through performance optimization, injury prevention, and workload management. I specialize in integrating advanced data analysis, including Catapult GPS, Firstbeat, Gymaware, and VALD systems, to produce actionable insights for coaching, medical, and performance staff. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Health and Human Performance, my research centers on athlete development and key performance indicators, reflecting my commitment to bridging science and sport. My professional background also includes supporting large-scale initiatives with the U.S. Army and FDNY Fire Cadet Academy that rely on wearable technology and training data to drive human performance decisions, improve readiness, and reduce attrition. As a former collegiate soccer player, I bring a competitive mindset and deep understanding of the athletic experience. My mission is to translate complex data into impactful strategies that drive performance, reduce injury risk, and elevate team outcomes.
