Brian Powelson serves as the Athletic Trainer for Los Medanos College, bringing decades of experience in sports medicine and athlete care to the Mustang community. Since joining LMC in the spring of 2015, Brian has been dedicated to supporting student-athletes in achieving their peak performance while maintaining their health and well-being. He works closely with athletes across all programs, providing injury prevention strategies, rehabilitation guidance, and performance-enhancement techniques. 

Before joining LMC, Brian spent 19 years as the Athletic Trainer at Contra Costa College, where he became a trusted resource for athletes and coaching staff alike. His extensive experience in collegiate athletics has allowed him to develop a reputation for thorough, compassionate care and a deep understanding of the demands student-athletes face both on and off the field. 

Earlier in his career, Brian gained experience working with Sacramento-area high schools and served as an assistant trainer for the Sacramento Gold Miners in the Canadian Football League. These roles helped him build a foundation in athletic training, injury management, and performance optimization that continues to inform his approach at LMC today. 

Outside of the training room, Brian is committed to mentoring young professionals entering the field of athletic training. He enjoys staying active, following local sports, and fostering a positive, supportive environment for all members of the Mustang Athletics program.
