Setting goals for each athlete to achieve (a functional outcome to target). Development of a training protocol (treatment) to move the athlete toward their specific goals. Constant and consistent monitoring of each individual (re-evaluation) to ensure they are on the path to maximum improvement. • Watch your athletes when it matters: Only through consistently watching an athletes’ game time execution are you able to design an appropriate training/ treatment protocol. www.southcoastmagazine.com If you are looking to improve your health, fitness, or sport performance, be sure to check with DSC Performance Physical Therapy and Fitness.
