Recovery Specialist, Club Sport Athletic Trainer, former industrial AT…Vander Castillo has created his own place to excel as an Athletic Trainer.

What is your Athletic Trainer story?

As an avid NBA follower, I saw the Athletic Trainers and wanted to be those guys.

Full-time job working with club sports…please explain.

I like wearing many hats

My office is inside of the club volleyball facility.

I have a mobile recovery unit

I see athletes one on one for a care plan

Appointment based during the week

Event coverage during the weekends.

I do a lot of education so the athletes know what they are doing.

Parents and players spend so much time on performance but neglect recovery

What drew you to club sports?

Much of my AT experience was in the industrial setting

Disney

Beer

Coca-Cola

This helped me grow into an autonomous AT

I started as VSix industrial AT but that changed.  I found a niche in hotels.

I was the MIPP program for the hotels in California.

We had bi-weekly appointments set up.

Being a business owner, what should ATs know?

Social Media is great for an AT to break off and do your own thing.

Creating your own brand is simple but not easy.

Get to know sales: yourself, your brand, your product.

I do a complimentary resume/ interview session during NATM each year.

People will pay for good care

Best growth tool? Who do you follow?

Mike Stella

ProMotion

Krystal Tyree

PTBiz

ATVantage

KCAT – Jessica 

Compex vs Marc Pro vs Twitch? Which do you prefer?

MarcPro is my favorite 

Twitch is second and more affordable. 

What makes up the majority of your business? Event coverage, practice, recovery, private evals?

About equal thirds

Tournaments

Recovery

AT services

Most underrated recovery tool?

Sleep
