Caitlyn Benedik joined the North Florida Sports Performance in August of 2023, working primarily with women’s basketball and women’s golf while sharing the development of the volleyball program and having oversight of the women’s tennis team.Â
Benedik also brings the unique experience of having served as a men’s basketball coach, doing so for two years with Division III Salisbury University in Maryland. While at the dominant DIII program, Benedik worked as a sports performance intern and later in the same role with Georgetown women’s basketball this past summer.Â
She also holds experience in sport performance with Holy Innocents Episcopal in Sandy Springs, Ga., and Exos Human Performance in Gulf Breeze, Fla.
Benedik has held positions at a number of levels and in different environments, having worked with collegiate and high school athletes as well as in the private and professional sector. She most recently worked with the Minor League Baseball Umpires Association as a performance coach.Â
Her basketball background extends past her time at Salisbury as she also had two other positions in coaching and player development roles. From 2020-21, Benedik worked with Holy Innocents Episcopal as a men’s basketball assistant coach. From 2019-21 she held a player development coach role with Nike Elite Hoops in Atlanta.Â
A native of the Florida Panhandle, Benedik was a four-year women’s basketball letterwinner at Pensacola Christian College where she earned her bachelor’s. She ranked fourth in the NCCAA in three-point percentage and was an all-region selection. She went on to earn her master’s in health and human performance from Salisbury in 2023.Â
Benedik is AED and CPR certified while also possessing a NSCA CSCS certification.
