Adam Loiacono is the Director of Rehabilitation for the Phoenix Suns. His decade-long career in professional sports includes working as a Performance Therapist for the Atlanta Hawks and serving in various roles for the NBA, MLS, and NWSL.

Equipped with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree, Adam blends his experience from sports science, performance training, and physical therapy to manage and monitor the wellbeing of various populations in sports, from youth athletes to professional sports teams.

Adam joins me today to discuss the challenges he has faced working in professional team sports. He explains why he joined the Phoenix Suns despite his hesitations about going back to team sports.

He highlights the importance of building team dynamics and camaraderie and explores the process of building a performance team from the ground up.

He also illustrates what it’s like to work with professional athletes and explains why rehabilitating an athlete is not merely like passing a baton from the athletic trainer to the physical therapist.

When you get into sports, you have to take it upon yourself to learn true performance and training principles. – Adam Loiacono
