Dan Kirk, the Head Strength, and Conditioning Coach at Florida Southern College was recently appointed to the State of Florida\u2019s Board of Pharmacy by Governor Ron DeSantis. Kirk is one of seven members of the Board of Pharmacy, and one of 25 overall appointments to various state boards, that the Governor made on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis appointment is important because decisions are made that affect the people of Florida,\u201d said Kirk about his assignment. \u201cNow I can actually play a part in that process and not just talk about what could and should be done in certain situations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of the appointments will be official until the Florida Senate votes to confirm them. Kirk\u2019s four-year term will begin immediately upon confirmation and expire on October 31, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is an awesome opportunity for me to gain valuable experience being on this board,\u201d Kirk continued. \u201cThis appointment will help me learn more about how health decisions are made, which will ultimately help Florida Southern and our students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirk came to Florida Southern in February of 2021, and is responsible for the overall strength and conditioning of all Florida Southern athletic programs, though he works primarily with the volleyball, men’s soccer, women’s and men\u2019s basketball, women\u2019s and men\u2019s swimming, baseball, softball, men’s tennis, men’s golf, and women’s lacrosse teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to Florida Southern, Kirk spent three years working as an Athletic Performance Coach at the University of Vermont. There he was responsible for the strength and conditioning programs for men’s soccer, women’s soccer, track & field and cross country. While at UVM, he also spent time as the Assistant Director of High Performance for the USA Softball Women\u2019s National Team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirk holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in Sports and Fitness from the University of Central Florida (2013). While at UCF, he was an intern in the Strength and Conditioning Department for one year. In 2016, Kirk received his Master\u2019s Degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science from the University of Tampa. While at UT, he worked with the men’s and women’s soccer teams, men’s lacrosse team, and women’s basketball team. He was a Graduate Assistant at Tampa for two years before going to Vermont. Additionally, Kirk interned at the University of Florida, working with men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming, track & field, and women\u2019s lacrosse.<\/p>\n\n\n
