Robert Duvall ’76
Olympic Shooting Team physical therapist
Robet Duvall
  • I was an athlete in high school and college. Then I was a national trapshooting champion. But to make the Olympic team, I would have had to quit my career and dedicate [myself] full time.
  • Professor of Exercise Science Emeritus Sam Case inspired me. Here’s a guy who was very athletically oriented but he had a Ph.D.
  • He gave me the confidence to leave the confines of Carroll County, go to graduate school. Now I travel all over the world with the team.
  • The magnitude of the Olympic Games is surprising and overwhelming. It’s a humbling experience to walk into the stadium with all the people cheering for Americans, and the number of the American flags waving, and you’re officially in a uniform representing the United States.
