For the second time in as many months, the Sportsmetrics™ staff left Cincinnati in order to certify more professionals interested in bringing Sportsmetrics™ to their athletes. This time their travels landed them in Delaware, where the staff certified 14 individuals representing 10 Physiotherapy Associates sites in 4 states including Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. This course facilitated a great deal of discussion about the best ways in which the various clinics could work together in an effort to market and implement the Sportsmetrics™ programs in their individual communities. In addition to very productive discussion, the certification course was able to provide each individual with a great deal of knowledge on the research behind the Sportsmetrics™ program as a whole and the Sportsmetrics™ Sports Injury Testing, as well as demonstration and practice in exercise technique and instruction.
