A mainstay with the Fordham Athletics program, Vinny Porricelli has been with the Athletic Training Room since joining the program part-time in 1982. He was promoted to Head Athletic Trainer in 1999, becoming one of just four people to hold the position in Fordham history.
 
Besides serving as an Athletic Trainer at Fordham, Porricelli has also been a full-time physical therapist for the Rams. His duties at Fordham include the rehabilitation of all male and female athletes. Porricelli's enthusiasm and concern for all the school's athletes make him a favorite among the students and coaches alike.
 
Porricelli graduated from Manhattan College in 1973 with a Bachelors of Science in Physical Education. He received his Certificate in Physical Therapy from Columbia University in 1975, and five years later, a Masters in Exercise Physiology at the New York City-based school. He joined the Fordham training staff in a part-time capacity in 1982 before becoming full-time three years later. He previously was a trainer at nearby Lehman College in the Bronx.
 
In 2003 Porricelli became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA). More recently, always trying to reinvent himself, he became a Certified Golf Fitness Instructor (C.G.F.I.) by the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California.
