Our patients strive to have their body running at peak performance. Many of our patients are working closely with an elite athletic trainer in order to achieve their optimal level of fitness. However, how do athletic trainers actually transform their amateur athletes? The role of an elite athletic trainer includes:

• Athletic trainers show respect and consideration for their clients’ past successes and level of training. It doesn’t matter if you have completed a triathlon or are looking to begin a new sport. Athletic trainers take into consideration your level of fitness and experience when transforming you into an athlete.
• Athletic trainers set clear, well-defined goals for you. You need to be crystal clear on exactly what your goal is and when you plan to achieve it. Also, trainers ensure these goals are realistic and achievable for your fitness, experience, and time frame.
• Your strengths and weaknesses will be analyzed, so you can improve and enhance on both. In order to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses, your trainer will run several tests, such as Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and many others.
• Athletic trainers look at the entire picture: your sleeping patterns, your diet and nutrition, your exercise schedule, and so on. Elite trainers take a comprehensive approach when transforming their clients into skilled and well-rounded athletes.
