Rawley Klingsmith is in his 11th year with the University of Colorado sports medicine staff as the athletic trainer for men’s basketball and the spirit squad.
Prior to coming to Boulder, Klingsmith was an integral part of the University of Northern Colorado sports medicine staff since 2004. In January 2012, he was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director for Human Performance - Head Athletic Trainer.
During the summer of 2015 (July), Klingsmith was the athletic trainer for the 2015 United States Pan American men’s basketball team in Toronto (bronze medal).
Klingsmith is reunited with CU men’s basketball head coach Tad Boyle, who coached the Bears from 2006-2010. At UNC, Klingsmith helped with all of Northern Colorado's 19 intercollegiate sports, assisting with student athletic training instruction and coordinating physician/doctor involvement.
“Rawley has great prospective, because he was the trainer at Northern Colorado with me from day one,” said CU head coach Tad Boyle. “He has a great feel for athletes; he’s dealt with professional athletes with his background with the Denver Broncos. He’s a great reader of people (student-athletes) and I think as a trainer, the psychological aspect of injuries and recovery from injuries isn’t talked about enough, and Rawley has a great feel for that.”
Klingsmith graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in May of 2000 with a bachelor of arts degree in kinesiology/athletic training. As an undergraduate, Klingsmith was a student athletic trainer and assisted with football, baseball, wrestling, soccer, volleyball and swimming.
Following graduation, he was a graduate assistant at the University of Oregon in Eugene. For the Ducks, he assisted with the athletic training needs for the football and wrestling programs and graduated with his master of science in sports medicine in April 2002.

He has also worked for Langford Sports and Physical Therapy in Albuquerque, N.M. from August 2003 until May 2004 as well as interning with the University of New Mexico training staff.
