From BMX to BJJ: My Physical Therapy and Coaching Origin Story


Listen Later

Today, I share my (full) origin story as a coach and physical therapist, highlighting the unique journey that led me to specialize in working with grapplers and combat athletes.

Takeaways:

  • My journey into physical therapy began with my own sports injuries and recovery experiences.
  • Transitioning from a traditional clinic to working with high-level athletes was life-changing.
  • Coaching youth athletes allowed me to give back to the community I loved.
  • My post professional residency and fellowship programs provided invaluable mentorship and accelerated my learning and eventually lead me to my own Jiu Jitsu journey.
  • I discovered a significant gap in support for grapplers, leading to my current coaching focus.
