The Fordham Sports Medicine department is managed by head trainer Vince Porricelli, ATC, CSCS, who took over after longtime head trainer Jim Wilson retired in 1999 following more than 30 years of service. Porricelli is one of just four people to hold the position of head trainer in Fordham history. Porricelli is the primary athletic trainer for football, rowing, and golf.

Porricelli has been a member of the Fordham athletic trainer's staff since 1982, while also serving as the full-time physical therapist for the Rams. Porricelli's duties at Fordham include the rehabilitation of all male and female athletes. His 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 three 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.

Porricelli became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA) in 2003. And in January of 2008 he received his certification from the Titleist Performance Institute as a Certified Golf Fitness Instructor.

In 2008, Porricelli was rewarded for his 20+ years of service to Fordham, as he was inducted into the Fordham Athletic Hall of Fame.
