Columbia College | Columbia University in the City of New York David Trofa ’07 keeps Lions performing at their peak “This is when I’m the most concerned,” Trofa says craning for a sightline from his seat behind the Lions bench “They get hit from behind and land awkwardly — that’s when they twist their knee.” Page landed well (albeit fouled; she went on to make both free throws) leans back again and glances at the game clock He has already noted a number of breath-holding moments: players careening out of bounds players crashing into the folding chairs on the sidelines cheerleaders performing lifts and other tricks Technically he is not responsible for the last but he says he’d be out there in a heartbeat were injury to happen Who he is responsible for are the roughly 900 athletes across 31 teams that make up Columbia’s vast varsity system an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon specializing in knees and shoulders but he’s had plenty of experience being a team physician His résumé includes stints with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers and MiLB’s Charlotte Knights and he assists the New York Yankees’ head team physician “What initially attracted me [to this work] was the intricacies of minimally invasive surgeries,” he says who amazed me with their ability to recreate anatomy.” he realized the real draw was working with and getting to know the athletes themselves nobody wants to have pain or be sidelined from an injury,” he says “But athletes aren’t just looking to feel better — they’re looking to perform at a higher level And being around people with that constant motivation to improve and pursue excellence drives me One notable difference between Trofa’s work in the pros and Columbia is the range of sports under his aegis Lions endure punishing plays on the gridiron get tangled up on soccer fields and push endurance to the limit on cross country runs — to name just a few ways that college competitors test their bodies Trofa has assembled a treatment team that includes three other doctors with complementary expertise (Busko was recruited for track and field alone to handle the chronic overuse injuries that are endemic to the sport.) Trofa also works closely with nine athletics trainers who attend to individual teams “They are our eyes and ears on a daily basis when we’re not there,” he says Trofa knows what it’s like to be an athlete on the examining table He was an aspiring varsity wrestler when he came to Columbia and had dislocated both shoulders in his last high school match (“a rare injury,” he says He thought he was sufficiently rehabilitated to give it a go — but when he tried out as a walk-on Trofa’s predecessor as head team physician that sounds terrible; I just can’t be an athlete anymore.’” Trofa laughs (About a decade and many repeat injuries later Trofa finally acquiesced to surgery; Levine wielded the scalpel.) Though he always knew he wanted to be a doctor and wanting to ensure others don’t repeat his mistake “Athletes are heartbroken when they’re forced to medically retire or miss a single season “I’m able to put myself in their shoes; it makes it easier to empathize with them.” Trofa graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine and did his residency in orthopedic surgery at Columbia University Irving Medical Center A fellowship in sports medicine followed at OrthoCarolina in Charlotte he cared for athletes at Manhattan College for four years before taking the Columbia role visceral passion for sports medicine and for the care of student athletes.” The role means you’re always on call he says — and that’s for any health reason He adds that he immediately recognized Trofa’s intensity when he encountered him as a fourth-year medical student “And that intensity has been his approach to success in becoming a master of his craft and that’s what our student athletes deserve and what our Columbia athletics community wants.” part of a weekly routine that has him shuttling to hospitals and clinics throughout the New York metro area and Westchester he is at Dodge Fitness Center several times a week for “training room,” when athletes come to be evaluated for injuries and he or a medical team member cover every home basketball game and he’s answering those phone calls at all hours (He also carves out time for research; ACL reconstruction is a primary focus.) Asked about the challenges of such a rigorous schedule adding that he couldn’t do it without his wife’s support Trofa shares that if he’s not seated courtside he snags a seat in the uppermost bleachers where the bird’s-eye view gives him better perspective on the players’ movements He notes that already this year he’s performed surgery on four of the women’s basketballers “You really have to watch what’s happening,” he says even when they’ve already won.” He references a recent season-ending injury “that happened in the last two minutes of a game Trofa will go to the training room for last checks you really get to know the student-athletes which makes the experience more meaningful and enjoyable,” he says but it’s different when it’s your alma mater Published three times a year by Columbia College for alumni Columbia Alumni Center622 W. 113th St., MC 4530, 6th Fl.New York, NY 10025212-851-7852cct@columbia.edu Columbia Alumni Center622 W. 113th St., MC 4530, 4th Fl.New York, NY 10025212-851-7488ccalumni@columbia.edu Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here Log in and download the free e-publication of the latest A&B The printed version is available for sale online in our store and press salons throughout Poland unique e-mail [will also be used as login in the portal] Only name - check the correctness of the data Only the last name - check the correctness of the data password must be at least 8 characters long * fields required for registration; data can be completed in account settings after logging in ** establishment of a student account follows verification of the validity of the student ID card Please try later or let us know: contact Technology: aitnet.pl Ⓒ AiB Publishing House 2025 Gil was evaluated by Yankees Orthopedic Doctor David Trofa and will be reassessed Wednesday Gil was seen at the stadium by Dr. David Trofa, Yankees Orthopedic Doctor.

updating and dragging into the modern professional world concepts originally crafted at the hands of a fearless Angelo is fast becoming the go-to-guy for bespoke kit design Angelo spoke to These Football Times to explain where exactly his enduring love affair with football kits all began to detail the small differences that can make a good kit great or and talk about what gives him the greatest kick out of his line of work What inspired your love of football kits and do you remember when you first realised that more than just being able to accurately copy existing designs I recall seeing a number of fantastic illustrations that had involved you taking designs originally conceived during your childhood and remaking them in the modern day Do you remember the first kit you ever owned “I got into football relatively late compared to my peers which sounds ridiculous when you consider that I was nine But it was the 1998 World Cup that got me hooked Before that I was a completely superhero obsessed kid – Batman Thunderbirds and Thundercats is what I was mad for Looking back I remember redrawing all of these characters You can see from my childhood drawings that I would spend time redrawing their outfits and details I guess the attention to detail was always there redesigning their crests and kits and even inventing my own the first jersey I owned was the Italy shirt from that World Cup I’d lay it down on my bed and study all of its details There are so many drawings of kits and players I did I also recently found a disk full of MS Paint designs where I was applying my kits onto the clipart footballer illustration that came standard with Microsoft Word.” Across the span of your portfolio of football strip concepts you’ve slalomed in and out of creating new and old looking kits as well as sampling designs that range from suave and minimalist to garish and hyper-commercialised What are your personal favourite kits to design and what would you say are the three things that make a good kit stand out What is the favourite of all the kits you’ve designed “The thing that I always look for in design is a story Often you find that research can throw up some weird and wonderful narratives from the most unlikely of places I guess this is what helps in creating a range of different styles of design that go from the crazy to minimal I’m not sure I have a favourite design to work on but I do get excited when I think I’ve found a gem for a story which could come from anything from fashion or the pattern on a local pack of playing cards “The three things I always look for would probably be a great use of logos that harmonises with the kit — there’s nothing worse than a sponsor that looks like it has been stuck on as an afterthought — a considered design which fits into the tradition of the team I always think collars are what can make or break the kit In a way I look at it in the same way I’d look at a frame for a painting; it can really ruin something beautiful “My favourite design is probably a two-way tussle between the Greece concept and the Italy national kit designed by Missoni Both kind of simple but heavy on the storytelling.” since 2011 you have also been providing something of a service to the football world by producing and self-publishing a series of magazines which “initially started to showcase my own concept strips graphics and typography” but has grown to “celebrate the design culture around the football kit and what it means to fans.” What exactly is there to be found in these magazines and can we expect another to be released any time soon “Initially it was a way of trying to get my work out there almost as an alternative portfolio to show off what I felt I had to offer I’d always been into magazines and manuals and loved the idea of having my own it felt totally natural to compile all of my designs together in a zine “I guess the main thing you can find in there is my ideas on kits and a breakdown of stories and patterns So much work goes into kit design and a magazine is a great way to tell the story behind each one A lot of kits released by the big brands often face backlashes because I feel the storytelling isn’t done too well I’m sure if brands showed how much research and love goes into the designs fans would be more receptive to different takes on their team’s kit The last issue was had more editorial content documenting others designers’ works and also interviews with a range of fans and what they love about kits but the idea is to aim it to the women’s game.” As well as collaborating with numerous brands and teams you’ve also had a dream of yours realised in being responsible for designing the kits for the classic team belonging to EA’s FIFA series If you could have a kit of yours worn by one player even if he has blocked me on Instagram.” That makes the final question a very easy one: why on Earth did Christian Vieri block you on Instagram I posted an image of him from when he joined Inter it depicts him as an auction piece with his fee displayed as the auction price At the time he was the most expensive player ever prompting the Pope to release a statement which described the transfer as “an offence to the poor.” I posted the image with the Pope’s quote as the caption and shortly after I was blocked!” By Will Sharp @shillwarp Thanks to Angelo Trofa for speaking to These Football Times as part of The Gallery If you’re an artist for whom football remains the ultimate muse please email us with examples of your work Having kicked off the publication as a personal project in 2011, the London-based designer has grown the self-published series into a now 80-page magazine and this time around enlisted Scott McRory for the front page illustration Football Strip Concepts Vol.5 is features designs for Torpedo Kattenburg and includes interviews with 2006 Italy kit designer Rob Warner illustrator Stan Chow and BeInSport commentator Andres Cordero To purchase the new volume for £14, visit Angelo's store here 2012 at 4:25 pm ETMayor Jay Gillian honors Joyce Trofa students and staff at the Ocean City Primary School on her retirement following 41 years of service to the Ocean City School System Trofa also celebrated the completion of the new traffic light installed at the corner of 6th and West Avenue Trofa is a long-time advocate for children’s safety as well as a volunteer for numerous organizations in the city After Prom and Police and Fire Department special events — News release from the City of Ocean City Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.

in the world of Creative Soccer Culture While illustrations of football kits from fantasy to reality break illustrated ground Angelo Trofa has taken to training wear to express more than a fair share of flair We caught up with him to grab his inspiration behind the project I recently saw a pic of the 96/98 Barcelona training bib by Kappa as I wanted to create a short project on training bibs I couldn’t find any to that high level there’s a real nostalgia for the crazy designs of the 90’s football shirt and as the training bib is probably the most consciously garish garment in the football world I had something really interesting to play with There’s no limits to sponsor logo sizing and placement and it's purpose is to be eye catching so it was great to go crazy with colours and patterns Has there been a favourite you've put together The most fun one so far has been the Japan one so this one took inspiration from Comme des Garcons and the character Doraemon Having visited at the country at the tail end of 2015 I wandered through the Bamboo grove of Kyoto so I wanted to show that with the green one What's your take on the football shirt scene right now is it in a good place from your perspective I think that the end end of the 2000s has seen some really interesting things happening brands have become conscious about how the shirt can be worn outside of the stadium and treated more as a fashion piece I think the fusion of technology and old school designs that we have seen has been great As a graphic designer I love how the name and numbering has become such a big part of the design with some of the best type foundries and typographers being called in by the big brands to work on designs What would you like to see more clubs doing or not doing with apparel like this It's clearly somewhere lots of experimental work could flourish I think that the big fear with football shirt geeks and lovers is that they all become plain and uniform with the templated design taking over I love what Nike have done with France in particular curating clothing lines more as fashion collections which are not too sporty and lean more towards being sartorial I think this idea is indirectly used in the training bibs I designed What football inspired projects are next on the Angelo Trofa horizon Let us know what you think in the comments below Paris Saint-Germain

Then I got the 27.4-metre Bahama designed by Jack Hargrave and later, the 35-metre Dreamtime, both built by Lloyds Ship Now I’ve got Seabear; she is only 21.9 metres but 110 tons I discovered it when I was looking for a safe harbour to keep Sunbird We bought a small piece of land on the water and lived on the boat while the house was being built I bought cane farms and started small developments then larger developments like the Mirage Hotel We got the local government to agree that no building would be higher than a coconut tree Superyachts now want to explore the Pacific; they go to lovely spots like Fiji and the Solomon Islands but they are bypassing Australia because they think they must go to Sydney has an international airport and is closer to the cruising grounds they favour The Super Yacht Group in Cairns is a nonprofit formed by the yachting community and can do it all for you I’ve always wanted to spend more time exploring the Great Barrier Reef and then go north to New Guinea and the Solomons but I’ve been so busy with our latest development Seabear is the kind of boat you can take to sea in any condition I like to sit back a bit but I still do watches I jumped on a plane to Brisbane and bought her on the spot I know boats well enough to know a really good boat she can only do about 10 knots but for cruising you want to take your time First published in the March 2024 issue of BOAT International US Edition.
