Biography
DR Todd
A. Crowder graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia
with a Ph.D. in Human Performance in 1989. His areas of concentration
were exercise physiology, nutrition, sports psychology and statistics.
Todd has served as an Associate Professor at the United
States Military Academy since 1990.
Since June of 2000, he was appointed to the newly created
position of Director of the Department of Physical Education’s
Center for Physical Development Excellence.
In
his career, he has been associated with sports (high school,
collegiate and professional), corporate fitness (3M, Proctor
and Gamble, and the Midland Company), resort fitness (Amelia
Island) and a variety of research studies.
He has presented over 20 international/national presentations.
A former athlete,
he played four sports in high school, two during his collegiate
career, and coached briefly while at MIZZOU.
His background is one of optimal performance with expertise
in body composition, cardiovascular fitness, strength development,
fitness testing and sports nutrition.
He
has been influenced greatly by his wife Cathy, and their two
girls (Lauren and Sarah). Additionally his family’s influence
of over 45+ years of commitment to service in secondary school
education and military service to our nation provides a bedrock
foundation of inspiration.
Todd has maintained a passionate belief in active lifestyles,
fitness, and optimal performance since 1970.
“Cadets are what USMA is about. With your family---Walk along
diagonal walk, interact with the Corps, Visit the Million Dollar View---ALL of this---Priceless.”
