When working as an athletic trainer in a North Carolina high school during the hot summer of 2011, Sharon Rogers, PhD, ATC felt the strain of trying to accomplish pre- and post-practice activities while also weighing in and out football players. Over the next three years, Dr. Rogers developed the concept and worked in conjunction with East Carolina University (Greenville, NC) to secure a US patent for the device. Sportscale officially launched in 2015 and is proudly manufactured in the USA.

Dr. Rogers has worked as an athletic trainer for more than 15 years in the high school and collegiate settings. She is employed as an Associate Professor at East Carolina University where she has worked since 2007. Prior to her faculty appointment, she worked at Duke University Medical Center as a Research Associate. Dr. Rogers is a graduate of the College of William and Mary (BS), University of South Carolina (MS), and Virginia Tech (PhD).

Dr. Rogers advises high school athletic trainers in Pitt County, NC and works as an athletic trainer to the men’s and women’s golf teams at East Carolina University. She is a member of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s Sports Medicine Advisory Committee and is a board member for the North Carolina Athletic Trainers’ Association.

A native of Wakefield, VA, Dr. Rogers is married to Mr. Brian Moore.
