Zeshaun Mirza

Zeshaun Mirza, or “Z,” is a certified and licensed athletic trainer as well as a corrective exercise specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He joins the Brearley athletics staff after more than a decade working in the professional basketball ranks and recently having a daughter here in New York City with his wife, Wendy.

Passionate about injury prevention and performance enhancement, he holds two degrees in sports medicine with an extensive background in human movement and strength training. Working with some of the top NBA athletes led him to create his own portable training product called the Z Kit, allowing him to explore his entrepreneurial side while continuing to help athletes stay healthy and be their best.

Z also served in the US Army as a paratrooper in a combat artillery unit from 2000 to 2004, earning invaluable life skills and lifelong friendships while serving the country. His expertise adds value to Brearley's student body in the athletic training room, on the field and in the weight room.
