Dr. Dave Tilley

I was lucky to have coaches and mentors in gymnastics who taught me very valuable lessons that go beyond gymnastics meet scores and getting new skills. The values I was taught, and the community of teammates I was fortunate to gain, were invaluable to me. They allowed me to not only develop careers I enjoy, but it also put me in a unique position to help others and make a significant impact on their life.

My number one goal with SHIFT, is to help gymnastics and other sports evolve so that more athletes can enjoy their careers, learn the same values I did through gymnastics, gain lifelong teammates, and eventually go on to help others in their own lives. By sharing new information that helps athletes perform better and reduce their injury risk, they can learn the deeper seeded benefits all sports have to offer like dedication, work ethic, being a positive role model, serving a larger purpose and helping others within the community, and more. SHIFT represents a constant pursuit of learning, constant growth, and helping athletes perform optimally during a long, healthy career.

Today I sit down with Dr. Dave Tilley, a physical therapist (and fire spinner) at Champion PT and Performance to talk about the rehab and management of gymnastic athletes, creating sport specific evaluation systems, and advice for new grads looking to get into sports PT.
