Our Story

---

"Our business was launched during the COVID pandemic of 2020.  Like most people, my hours were cut drastically despite being considered an essential healthcare professional.  I started thinking how can I support my family, utilize my skills, and also provide a service to my community that doesn't already exist.  The answer: True Sports Performance.  By establishing a sports rehab business in Detroit Lakes, MN, I can use my 16+ years of experience in sports medicine, my license as an Athletic Trainer, and my certification as a strength and conditioning specialist.  Our primary focus at TSP is bridging the gap between the physical therapy done in the clinic and the actual return-to-sport.  This late stage of the rehab process is critical for a safe return to competition and to prevent re-injury from occurring.  This continuation of care is not only a benefit to you as the athlete, but also to your physician and PT by improving their patient outcomes.  My license as an Athletic Trainer allows me to evaluate, treat, and rehabilitate athletes.  I have worked with hundreds of professional athletes in both the training room and the weight room.  If you want help reaching your goals, you now have an option in the lakes area.  We are happy to call Detroit Lakes home and proud to serve the surrounding community."
