For Coaches

Clear information. Less guessing.

I work alongside coaches — not around them. Here's what that looks like in practice.

How I work with coaches

You know this athlete. I need that context.

The best outcomes happen when the PT and the coach are speaking the same language. I prioritize that from the first session.

Athlete handoff summary

After every evaluation, coaches receive a one-page summary: what I found, what the athlete can do now, what to avoid, and what the next milestone is. Designed to be practical — not a wall of medical jargon.

Skill modification framework

Rather than "no tumbling," I give you: what level of tumbling, on what surface, with what volume limit, and what the escalation signal is. Coaches can work within those parameters without constant check-ins.

Direct communication

If something changes — athlete reports increased pain, a new symptom appears, or the competition schedule shifts — I want to know. And coaches can reach me directly when clinical questions come up mid-training.

Return-to-sport timing

I factor in the competition calendar when building RTS progressions. If a major meet is 6 weeks out, we build toward that — with honest conversation about what's realistic and what risks that timeline introduces.

Sample coach summary

What a handoff looks like.

This is a simplified example. Actual summaries are tailored to the specific athlete, injury, and training context.

Athlete Handoff Summary — Week 3 Post-Ankle Sprain

Cleared for: All bar work · Beam conditioning (no dismounts) · Floor conditioning without tumbling · Single-leg strength work

Avoid: Landing skills · Tumbling passes · Vault run · Single-leg leaps and jumps on floor

Volume limit: Full volume on cleared skills — no restriction if athlete is asymptomatic

Next milestone: Jump-landing progression test at Week 4 PT visit. Will communicate outcome within 24 hours.

Escalate if: Swelling increases · Pain rises above 3/10 during cleared activity · Athlete reports instability sensation

Gym partnership

Working with gyms on an ongoing basis.

For gyms that want a consistent PT relationship rather than one-off referrals.

A gym partnership means regular communication, consistent availability for coach questions, and a PT who knows your athletes — their training history, their tendencies, their upcoming meets — rather than seeing them cold at each visit.

This works best for programs with 10+ competitive athletes where load management, injury prevention, and return-to-sport decisions are a regular part of the training environment.

Working with an injured athlete?

Book an evaluation and request a coach copy of the summary. I'll make sure you have what you need to keep training moving forward.
