Toby Brooks

I'm Toby. I'm a dreamer, a learner, and a doer. I'm currently a professor at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, Texas. My life’s purpose is to help others discover and pursue theirs. I've published more than 20 books, 30 peer-reviewed articles, and 200+ magazine articles in a diverse career as an athletic trainer, professor, and automotive journalist.

I have an AS from Southeastern Illinois College, a BS from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and both an MA and PhD from the University of Arizona. As a certified athletic trainer and certified strength and conditioning specialist, I have worked with the likes of the Las Vegas Raiders, USA Baseball, the Florida Firecats, and the Southern Illinois Miners in pro sports, several colleges and universities, and nearly a dozen different high schools in a career that has spanned two decades.

I'm a proud dad, husband, author, and speaker and I relentlessly pursue better every day.
