Through a new partnership with the Sports Medicine Institute/Spartanburg Regional, the Oakbrook Prep family is happy to welcome Stefanie Cox, MS, ATC, SCATA as the school’s new Head Athletic Trainer.

Stefanie will be providing medical coverage and on-site support that allows for injury prevention and immediate assessment and care following sports injuries. She will be available from early afternoon through the entire athletic day, which concludes at the end of practices or home games. She will also travel to away games with the football team.

“Stefanie is very personable, knowledgeable, and professional,” said Oakbrook Athletic Director Joshua Clowney. “I truly believe our students, parents, and community will love her!”

Stefanie is certified by the American Heart Association, National Athletic Trainer’s Association, and South Carolina Athletic Trainer’s Association. She will begin her role at Oakbrook immediately.

“We are excited to partner with Spartanburg Regional and welcome Stefanie to Oakbrook,” said Oakbrook Head of School Kyle Boyles.

Stefanie comes to Oakbrook following four years as Education Coordinator at The Sports Medicine Institute, where she plans educational events for staff and maintains credentials for the BOC Approved Provider Program, the APTA-SC, and the SCOTA for programming. She is also an Athletic Trainer at the Upward Star Center where she provides coverage for the facility’s adult sports leagues, volleyball and basketball travel teams, and all Upward Star Center events.

Stefanie graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training from Florida Southern College and a Master of Science in Youth Development Leadership from Clemson University. From 2012-14, she was a Graduate Assistant for the Clemson men’s and women’s track and field and cross country teams.

“I am excited to get back onto the field supporting a smaller, Christ-centered community,” Stefanie said. “I am looking forward to helping athletes achieve their greatest potential on and off the field, while keeping them as safe and healthy as possible.”
