The New York Giants announced six more hirings on Friday, including Sam Rosengarten as director of high performance and five football analysts.
Rosengarten has nine seasons of NFL experience, all with the Baltimore Ravens.
What are the duties of a “director of high performance”? The Giants explained Rosengarten’s role this way in their official press release.
He held the same role in Baltimore, where he oversaw player monitoring systems, training load management, recovery protocols, and performance analytics. He integrated real-time biometric monitoring during practice, advanced player‑monitoring protocols, and injury‑prevention strategies tailored to the demands of the NFL.
His expertise helped shape new data applications within the organization, driving innovation in injury forecasting and personalized athlete development to enhance player availability, optimize performance, and support overall team success.
Prior to working for the Ravens, Rosengarten led the Buffalo Sabres’ injury‑prevention program for two seasons and oversaw all day‑to‑day care of the players.
Here is more on Rosengarten from the press release:
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Rosengarten is a board‑certified physical therapist, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, and a sports physiotherapist in both Australia and the United Kingdom.
