Beloved for his kind demeanor and genuine care for each student-athlete, Tom Kuster was hired to the JMU sports medicine team in 1999 and was elevated to assistant AD to lead the unit in 2006. During his 16 years of leadership, he revolutionized JMU's approach to student-athlete care, transforming it into a nationwide model. Kuster was named associate AD for integrated health and sport performance in 2016 upon combining JMU's key health areas into one cohesive unit. Through this collaboration of sports medicine, strength and conditioning, nutrition, sport psychology and mental health, JMU has been able to better care for the individual health circumstances of each student-athlete. Kuster oversaw a staff of nearly 25 sports medicine and sport performance professionals. He facilitated the performance team meetings and the Dukes C.A.R.E (Care and Recovery Enhancement) team meetings. He also continued to coordinate all the medical services and physician services contracted to support JMU student-athletes. Kuster served as a member of the Athletics senior leadership team, and he also continued to partner with the University Health Center regarding the institutional drug testing program and student-athlete wellness education programming. He also served as sport supervisor for the tennis programs. While coordinating the department's COVID response during the summer of 2020, Kuster was diagnosed with cancer and passed away in May of 2022. He was bestowed with the CAA's prestigious Randolph Inspiration Award in 2021 and inducted into the Virginia Athletic Trainers' Association Hall of Fame in January of 2022.
