Who We Are
At The Premier Athlete, we are dedicated to being entirely client-centered, with a singular mission: We Build Athletes. Our focus is on getting our clients back to high performance through a comprehensive and personalized approach.
Our Process
We begin by getting our clients out of pain, focusing on immediate relief and the restoration of basic functionality. Our priority is to address the immediate discomfort while also identifying the root cause of the issue.
Once the pain is managed, we dive deeper into the underlying causes, developing a tailored plan to address them. We work on enhancing performance, ensuring our clients perform better than they ever have before. This stage involves building strength, power, and eventually, speed.
Our final step is to ensure that the issue doesn't recur. We implement long-term strategies to maintain and improve performance, using a whole-body approach that is unique to each client. No cookie-cutter plans—everything is designed specifically for you.
At The Premier Athlete, we offer performance-based rehab and performance services, available both in-person and through remote coaching. Our approach is distinct from typical insurance-based clinics. We specialize in performance rehabilitation, ACL rehab, and return to performance protocol. At The Premier Athlete we always assess and never guess.
From the initial stages focusing on range of motion and basic mobility, to building strength, power, and speed, our goal is to get you back to your sport and beyond. We utilize return-to-sport testing to ensure that we never guess—we know when you are ready.
I’m Evan Motlong, the heart and soul behind The Premier Athlete. As a sports performance coach and rehab specialist, I am driven to redefine how rehab and performance are viewed in the world of physical therapy. My journey is deeply personal: as a former high school and collegiate basketball player who endured two knee surgeries, I understand firsthand the challenges you face. I can relate to you because I am you. I know what it’s like to navigate through these injuries, and it’s my mission to help you become a better, stronger athlete.
I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and from the Medical University of South Carolina with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2022.
