Jay Dicharry, MPT, CSCS, is the Director of the SPEED Performance Clinic and the Motion Analysis Lab Coordinator at the University of Virginia . Originally from New Orleans , LA , Jay received his BS from the University of Southern Mississippi in Exercise Physiology in 1997. In 2001, Jay completed the Masters of Physical Therapy degree at Louisiana State University Medical Center . He has pursued additional course work in exercise physiology and wilderness medicine, is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength & Conditioning Association and a certified coach through both the United States Track and Field Association and the United States Cycling Federation, and certified Golf Fitness Instructor through Titleist Performance Institute. Jay has a competitive history in swimming, triathlon, cycling, and running events on both the local and national level, and has coached athletes from local standouts to national medalists. Jay is a founding board member and presenter at the annual UVA Running Medicine conference and has been published in numerous professional journals. He has been an invited lecturer in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency and the Exercise Physiology department at the University of Virginia. Jay's research and treatment interests lie in the biomechanics and treatment of athletes and footwear. Jay is the husband of his wife, Asha, the best friend of his daughter, Eva, and the servant of his loyal dog, Turbo.
