Mike Rossetti, Ph.D., CSCS, is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Health and Human Development in the School of Education at the University of Pittsburgh. He teaches human physiology and strength and conditioning courses. Dr. Rossetti received his Ph.D. from Florida State University in exercise physiology where he researched skeletal muscle physiology.
Prior to his time at Florida State University, Dr. Rossetti received training in the strength and conditioning arena at the University of North Carolina and the University of Tennessee. Additionally, he served as a strength and conditioning coach and baseball coach during his time as a faculty member at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania.
