Olivia (Liv) Newhouse is returning to the Madison Scouts for the 2025 season as an
athletic trainer. She is a former member of the Madison Scouts from the color guard
section from the 2021 and 2022 season. Liv first joined the health and wellness team
as an athletic training intern during the 2024 season—and now comes full circle as a
full-time staff member.
She completed a Master’s in Athletic Training from Marshall University in May 2025 and
was named student of the year in the state of West Virginia. Additionally, Liv holds a
Bachelor's in Athletic Training with a minor in Psychology. Her experience spans from
NCAA Division I athletics—including football, volleyball, cheerleading, and track &
field—as well as unique populations in the performing arts, such as the Ringling
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus and the Marshall University Marching Thunder.
Liv has presented award-winning case studies and research at multiple sports medicine
conferences and has published research including adaptive performance strategies for
musicians and performers. Her dual background as a clinician and former marching
member offers a rare perspective on the demands of drum corps life.
Returning to the Madison Scouts in this role is more than a career milestone—it’s a full-
circle moment in a journey that began on the field. She is honored to support the next
generation of performers through compassionate, informed, and elite-level care.
