Sports Team
Performance Consulting
Are you a coach, manager, player or even supporter of a sporting team? Do you or a club official want to learn about high performance and how we can apply the principals and pillars of success to your club?
Perhaps you’d like to know what a multi-million dollar program can look like and how the same approach can be scaled down to fit your budget and resources. At Clinic 1 Physiotherapy we are passionate about increasing athlete participation (reducing injury rates) and facilitating high performance; helping people reach their potential and enjoying an active and healthy lifestyle.
Injury facts: what the science says
- Increased player availability improves chances of success
- Conversely, injuries sustained both prior to and during competition may increase risk of failure. Injury prevention should therefore be a priority for maximizing athletic performance
- Injuries have a detrimental impact on team and individual athletic success
- Injuries detrimentally affect the final ranking position in team sports
- In-competition injuries affect the outcome of success
- Higher availability rates in team sports are associated with better success throughout the season
- Injuries and illness can impair success both within a single game or event and throughout a competitive season and must be considered in training and competition planning processes
Sporting Example (Basketball)
- During 2016-17 NBA regular season the teams with the 3 best records (Golden State, San Antonio and Houston) finished in the bottom 5 for games lost to injury.
- The 3 teams with the greatest games lost to injury (Miami, Philadelphia and New Orleans) did not make the playoffs
- Another significant study in 2014 performed in the NBA concluded that a healthy roster is important for increasing winning performance.

Injury prevention and athletic development is a club-wide process, requiring a little planning, some buy-in from staff and players, and a basic understanding of how each component can help. At Clinic 1 Physiotherapy we trust that this process of evaluation and integration of the key factors will ensure we have an impact on injury numbers and athletic development over a prolonged period of time. Our process essentially becomes your process to get results.
We would love to be a part of more success stories and help clubs and organizations build up and become proud of their high performance sports programs.
