Greg Skaggs enters his fourth season with the Buccaneers in 2022 working as the team's Director of Athlete Performance.

In this role, Skaggs oversees the team's sports science program, working closely with Director of Performance Science David Hamilton, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach Anthony Piroli and Head Athletic Trainer Bobby Slater to develop best practice policies for player training and recovery.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Skaggs was named the Buccaneers Infection Control Officer. After the AdventHealth Training Center closed in March, Skaggs helped set up protocols and implement an IDER (Infectious Disease Emergency Response) plan in order to create a safe and healthy work environment for players, coaches, and staff upon return.

In addition to his work as the Infection Control Officer, Skaggs helped develop a program to optimize player performance and safety while collaborating with the medical services team who will implement evidence-based recovery protocols and evaluate factors to help predict and prevent future injuries.

Skaggs came to the Buccaneers from the University of Oregon, where he served as the Director of Athletic Medicine from 2007-2019. Prior to being hired full-time with the Ducks, Skaggs spent 10 years in private practice as a family practice and sports medicine practitioner in Oregon and worked with the University of Oregon Athletic Medicine Department part-time for three years.

A Wisconsin native, Skaggs completed his undergraduate degree at Creighton University before attending the University of Virginia, where he obtained his medical degree and completed his residency.
