Did court find student‐athlete's lawsuit barred by assumption of risk?
A member of Manhattanville College's varsity soccer team allegedly injured his back while doing squat exercises during a weight training session. The soccer player claimed that he expressed concerns about his ability to perform the exercise during the session. However, the coaches allegedly told him he would be removed from the team if he didn’t complete the squat exercise. Subsequently, the soccer player initiated a personal injury lawsuit against several parties, including Manhattanville College, its athletics department, and the men's varsity soccer team.
